List of suburban and commuter rail systems

This is an alphabetical listing of cities which have commuter or suburban railways. Unlike metros, these systems usually operate on main line tracks unsegregated from other rail traffic. They also usually have lower service frequency.

See also List of metro systems and List of light-rail transit systems.

Notes

  1. Sydney, Melbourne and Paris (RER) have hybrid systems, with trains running as metro-like services (on segregated track – usually in tunnel – and with high frequency) in their inner cities, but as main line commuter services in the suburbs.
