Commuter rail, which is also known as regional rail or suburban rail, is long-haul rail passenger service operating between metropolitan and suburban areas, whether within or across state lines. Commuter rail lines usually have reduced fares <strong>for</strong> multiple rides and commutation tickets <strong>for</strong> regular, recurring riders.
