That's a question to be answered by the local transit authorities and whatever their tax revenues could support to build and subsidize. After a 10 year federally mandated EIS process, you might get 50% federal funding to build - but not to operate and maintain.
Why limit your commuter rail corridor to just the cities you listed? Couyldn't other metros have a fantastic commuter rail line? Like Denver to Boulder?
