In this case, I wouldn't recommend that bike. Like most folders, it's just too big to take into crowded trains during rush hour. For that purpose, I would recommend either the Brompton or the Strida. Or maybe the Dahon EEZZ D3 if you can find it (but no infos on its reliability).
Besides, Pacific Cycles is a very small producer (they do make the Birdy, but, unless you live in Asia, their own bikes are very hard to find, so after-sale service is likely to be an issue.)
