Sadly, LIRR/Metro-North is by FAR the best commuter rail system in America. The U.S. is trying though, with all the new Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) being built. But it's a long road to achieve anything close to what Japan and many other European and Asian cities have in place.
-
Many developments & activities in Japanese suburbs are centralized around train stations. You have most people walking or biking to the train stations, which in itself are often the local retail & commercial hub, and from there they would take the train to their destinations. This kind of lifestyle, along with generally higher residential density, generates huge transit demand that allows public transit agencies to operate in short headways and still achieve >100% farebox recovery.

It's not as easy as shortening the headway. The urban fabric of the area along Yamanote Line is vastly different from LIRR/Metro-North lines. Yamanote is probably not a good comparison since it basically encircles the center of Tokyo. A better comparison is probably with something like Joban Line which connects Tokyo with suburbs to the NE of the city. But even that you're getting 7 trains/hr during mid-day.

yo think how much better LIRR and Metro-North would be if they ran at 2-4 minute intervals! Most commuter rail in Tokyo covers the same kind of distance as something like LIRR but runs as frequently as a subway. Long story short, America basically sucks at anything train-related

@WilWil commuter rails are long distance traveling trains. usually has station by cities or towns but it depends.

Now I don't understand this, cause Yamanote runs at 2-4 min interval for the entire day. When I think about commuter rail, I think of it as trains which run at large intervals during non-peak hours (e.g. LIRR, Metro-North).

What's the definition of commuter rail? cause these trains run at 2-4min intervals for the entire day. These numbers reflect a different picture than what I know about commuter rail
