commuter lines

Daily worker routes

Commuter lines are rail services connecting suburbs and outlying areas to a city center, designed for daily work travel.

The trains run on schedules matching business hours, with frequent service during rush hour and less frequent runs at other times: The commuter lines into Boston were delayed by the storm.

The term also applies to bus routes serving the same function.
