Genuinely the only real commuter rail in the US outside of NJ Transit Rail and maybe Metra if you're feeling extremely generous. (hexbear.net)

SEPTA's regional rail isn't half bad. not in the level of NYC mind you, but still decent enough

It's not bad. Just needed more high density and walkable infrastructure around it. The Main Line rail stations are relatively accessible (though so many of the neighborhoods immediately off Rt30 is just suburban sprawl), as are Manayunk-Norristown Line, but a lot of stops along the Norristown High Speed Line between the bookends are just stupid: Train station surrounded by single-family housing with no sidewalks beyond the parking lot.
