It is. They can run faster, they have less maintenance and issues in general. And oh yeah not beholden to the price of fuel to the same degree.

Newark to Manhattan is roughly 12 miles or 18 mins ride in the train. That’s the equivalent of Newton to Boston… They are roughly the same price in the commuter rail

Newark to NYC is more expensive when using the Path vs the T

We need more European style metros without the French strikes though
