I agree that commuter rail's potential in the US is untapped, but I think that it has to do more with bad routing than it does with limited schedules.
The main reason that I haven't taken commuter rail in Seattle, so far, is that it seems to go weird places (it goes along the beach I think), and the nearest station isn't particularly easy to get to.
If it were more accessible, and went to more destinations, then I think I might take it more.
