Why not? I took a commuter train to work every day when I worked outside the 
city. It was packed with commuters. It's a long tradition in the 
east...people took the train to work in the 1870's. Maybe the idea just 
hasn't spread to your area yet....when gas goes back up to $4/gallon, it 
will be standing room only.
