commuter trains

Daily rail transit

Commuter trains are passenger rail services connecting suburbs to city centers, designed for daily work travel.

They run on fixed schedules, typically more frequent during morning and evening rush hours.

Unlike intercity rail, commuter trains make frequent stops along relatively short routes: She takes the commuter train into the city every morning.
