Commuter rail has larger disparities in ridership over time and geography so building the infrastructure to a common standard could become wasteful as the context of the line changes. Also I am not sure that rapid transit vehicles are cheaper than railroad vehicles, especially on the used market. For one, railroad stock can be unpowered, so increasing capacity once the locomotives are delivered is much more manageable. |
