My case is a clear no go - there's a commuter rail station about a
mile away, but the Boston commuter system as designed with the
assumption that everyone wanted to go to the city center - my last work
place was about 8 miles out, but NW of town, while I live W of town.
Boston and DC both have systems built that way, with no rings at all, and
it is increasingly limiting their usefulness as fewer and fewer people are
working in the city center. In the case of Boston the commuter rail is
actually a lot better than the subway, but the subway is a major problem.
In the case of DC there is talk about adding some rings in the future
and there is a good chance of the purple line happening but it's really
too little and too late.
