In this country commuter trains lose even more money than long distance trains because of the the dead time. Crews get paid 8 hours for two hours work, etc. Plus they are still are run on freight carriers tracks,except in corrdier or on lines owned by the states. Commuter trains get the volume but need to run all the time, which they do not. On rapid transits the volume is there but the costs of the infrastucture is so great. It is like a public highway.
