I have never heard of a commuter train yet that paid for itself

They all are taxpayer subsidized public works projects.

And the Public Service Workers’ Union use them to blackmail the Municipal government (New York’s recent mess).

" They all are taxpayer subsidized public works projects."

It's called socialism.

New Mexico needs a commuter train? It must be one of the least population dense states in the nation. I'm sure it's a nice state but commuter trains work where lots of people are living in one area.

I've never heard of any public transportation system that paid for itself; airlines included (gov. subsidized air traffic control system).
