This is happening right now with Ogden, Utah. Too far to drive in traffic, but a nice bedroom community with commuter rail. People like me are sick of logjam traffic and will ride rail if convenient to avoid hour-long commutes. When I lived in Brookline, MA, I never drove downtown. All my commuting was done on the "Green Line."

"Commuter rail" usually means some monstrosity of a system developed by a govt entity with taxing authority. Intelligent commuter rail s/take advantage of existing rail rights of way and not laid in the middle of existing streets as Houston has done.
