I see having stops at only the major cities as a problem. I see the Main issue being the airport stops. This is pure conjecture on my part, since there is no North American study that I am aware, but I don't see a whole lot of O&D passengers transfering between the two modes to make up the added cost, both in construction as well as increased headways.

As for the smaller cities, it does make sense. Ten small cities adding 1,000 passengers a day makes a big market. The decreased travel times would be attractive to those types of passengers.
