The museum did a fine job bringing them back to the way they looked when they were in regular service. |

I gotta ask, after seeing these great pictures of interurbans: how big a difference is there functionally between electrified commuter rail lines and interurbans? As far as I can tell, interurbans easily approach the size and appearance of MU cars, and they're capable of being coupled together into longer trains. They seem to run comparable distances as well. |

A balancing act between running at a fare priced to compete with competition (cars and Bus) and keep pace with Technology and labor cost.Some had limits to the number of cars that could beMUsed. Size , some smaller, but many equal in car length and capacity. Demand, you must have customers going to and from your Point A & B, or where ever your tracks go. The economy, a factor that helps determine riders. If the price of gas goes up, riders leave cars for trains. If the price of a commuter ticket goes up to high, riders go back to their cars. Each person has their own determining boundaries. Lastly , the spelling, Commuter Vs Interurban. |

I"m not sure I understand your question? Do you mean taking local buses, town to town with fares and transfers?I 'm not familiar with the bus routes between Boston and NYC. |
