Over the Internet, no, not really, unless you have a really, really low ping 
to the other player(s). OpenTTD (www.openttd.org) is a better bet over the 
Internet.

Over a LAN, with the latest alpha of TTDPatch, it should be reasonably 
stable if you have the same patches and newgrf files on each system. Some 
may argue that OpenTTD would still offer a better multiplayer system in this 
case, but you can choose that for yourself. :-)
