Commuter rail, also called
suburban rail, is a
passenger rail transport service that primarily operates between a city centre, and the middle to outer suburbs beyond 15 km (10 miles) and
commuter towns or other locations that draw large numbers of
commuters — people who travel on a daily basis. Trains operate following a schedule, at speeds varying from 50 to 200 km/h (30 to 125 mph). Distance charges or
zone pricing may be used.
