The busiest year-round route is the B7 in Springfield, weighing in at 549 boards/mile The network avg for Boston Commuter Rail is 306 b/mi
I found (on wiki I think) ridership by trunk line; sum of boards for each stop on Lex Ave line

-
Most subway lines in Tokyo are also "commuter rail," it is not a useful distinction for ridership potential
-
A lot of Paris' RER lines are more like NYC express subway lines; Paris Metro covers a small area with tiny stop spacing
-
Paris has a commuter rail system called Transilien which don't thru run; tend to service further flung suburbs; more LIRR or MetroNorth like

so that misses outer borough riders who are riding into Manhattan and exit?
-
presumably most get back on again to go home
-
yea, but they're counted half as much as intra-Manhattan riders
-
you mean intra-Lexington Ave riders
-
yes; though but same thing in the context of our conversation?
-
I suppose--but I don't think it makes too much difference (bear in mind that this same counting problem affects all other stats cited)
-
The Japan ones count the entire line, right? So no half counting branch riders
-
They don't count the thru-passengers from suburban railways etc, only on the core line
