I stumbled across this story on Planetizen today. It's geared toward Houston, but the principles would seem to be pretty universal.

That was a good read. Point #3 really jumped out at me, because the argument for commuter rail is often framed with only commuters in mind.

Some good points in there. I take the commuter line everyday into the city, I dislike it very much...I would much rather take the Chicago transit. The commuter line schedules are set up terribly and are often late due to the heavy freight traffic.
