commuter line
Daily transit route
A commuter line is a railroad or transit route designed to carry passengers between a city center and its surrounding suburbs or satellite communities.
These lines typically run on fixed schedules timed around the workday, with heavy traffic during morning and evening rush hours.
The commuter line from the suburbs was packed by 7 a.m.
Unlike long-distance rail, commuter lines make frequent stops and serve daily travelers rather than occasional riders.
