I used to take the Caltrain from Palo Alto to San Francisco. The line from Kingston to Boston doesn't even compare.
Caltrain: Tinted windows, comfortable seats. I'm comfortable using a laptop to check email while I ride to work.
MA Commuter Rail: No tint on the windows, seats so bad I'm uncomfortable using a laptop.
I wouldn't call MA commuter rail "Good" by US standards. It's treating MA residents like a captive audience, and then the politicians and leaders scratch their heads and wonder why we'd rather clog the freeway with luxury cars instead of taking the train.
