I think that tag is not usable. There can be a train that goes from town to town, making it an ordinary train line. Then when it comes to a big city, it stops on every station, making it a commuter train line. How do you tag that? I know there aren't a lot of these trains, but I think the tag isn't consistent. How many circles around a route does it make a commuter line? Two in a day? Four? A real solution would be to import all timetables to a service like the one SteveC is trying to make (transiki<http://blog.transiki.org/why-transiki>), and then colour the more frequent lines with a different colour.
