So obviously it is better to compare Chicago with Detroit.
You are really trying to boost to hard. Detroit and Chicago suburbs do feel alike, possibly more alike than any other metros in the midwest outside of Chicago/Milwaukee, why pick one thing to differentiate them. Detroit suburbs are pretty nice. You know LA, SF, DC, Boston, Philly, Baltimore, Seattle, Miami all have suburban rail systems also right? As do systems allover Europe, as do systems allover Asia. Why such the need to latch on to NYC when them feeling the same has been debunked countless times already.
If you *really* wanted to compare transit lines Chicago Metra is closer to MBTA/Septa than it is to the NYC systems.

Latch onto New York? This thread is about comparing NY and CHI suburbs. I didn't get the memo that such comparisons hurt Detroit's feelings.
Nor did I realize I was hurting the feelings of "LA, SF, DC, Boston, Philly, Baltimore, Seattle, Miami all have suburban rail systems also right? As do systems allover Europe, as do systems allover Asia."

But, as you claimed, nothing matters in comparisons except railroad lines. And NYC and Chicago don't have comparable railroad lines, and Detroit and Chicago do. Oh, well.
Or if you're saying "some type of commuter passenger rail service" alone makes cities similar, why aren't comparing Chicago to Miami, or to Seattle, or to Nashville, or to Salt Lake, or to Harrisburg, for that matter.
Hell, I guess you think Tokyo and Harrisburg are the same. They both have commuter rail.
Not everyone who doesn't support every post about Chicago is from Michigan. I love Chicago (even though I live in Philly at the moment), but there has been defensiveness on the boards about it recently. There are obvious trolls who post inane stuff, but being overly defensive doesn't prove them wrong. Facts do.
This e-attitude is strange because Chicago is a confident city that doesn't really care about anywhere else in real life.

would agree. NYC has a much more significant commuter rail netwrok and dont forget NJT as it is sizable
CTA and Septa are probably better comparators as you pointed out

Detroit has electrified rail lines? Commuter rail sharing freight lines? I never knew.
You could compare Chicago and Minneapolis to a limited extent. Possibly even Cleveland.

Was it a job? a girl?
What so bothers you that hundreds of thousands of Chicagolanders take trains to Chicago every day from hundreds of train stations?

Detroit has passenger rail sharing freight lines. NYC generally doesn't. Chicago does.
And Chicago has no third rail commuter service. The NYC network is overwhelmingly third rail.
