I looked up California and for all the -passenger rail infrastructure it has built over the last 30 years it is something like only 100 riders per mile of track operated-99 riders per mile for 388 miles operated-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U ... _ridership compared to Boston MBTA which has 300 riders per mile operated for 388 mile of track. Seems that the legacy commuter rail systems like Chicago and Philly are actually doing quite well..
