The state of passenger rail in the United States on lines that don’t serve New York City is pretty pathetic, so I’d think that an increase in the number of New York passengers, by itself, would actually represent a significant increase in the total number of passengers, nationally.

NYC is served by several train lines, including Amtrak. Some of the others are LIRR and NJ Transit but I didn’t find a complete list in a brief search
