intercity rail
Between-town train service
Intercity rail is train service connecting major cities, as distinct from commuter rail serving suburbs or subways operating within a single metropolitan area.
The distances are longer and stops fewer: Amtrak provides intercity rail between Boston and Washington.
In Europe and Asia, intercity rail often includes high-speed service competing with air travel.
