suburban station

Outlying rail platform

A suburban station is a train stop serving residential areas outside a city center, typically part of a commuter rail network.

These stations connect outlying neighborhoods to urban cores, with parking lots for commuters who drive partway: She caught the 7:15 from the suburban station into the city.
