message: Would it be useful to have a commuter train listing, as there is an Underground listing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.15.46.129 (talk) 12:17, 24 August 2002 (UTC)

message: This page should be merged with regional rail, but I don't know at which location.  The Google test reveals that 'commuter rail' is much more common than 'regional rail', but the former is a needlessly specific usage that excludes systems in countries where bedroom communities are not as epidemic as they are in the United States. --Smack 00:45, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: I've copied the content from regional rail here, because it was just one user's edits, who I attributed in my copy (thus their contribution is now in the edit history of this page). I suggest we now do a simple move of this page to regional rail (a more general/non-locale specific term).
I'll clean up the page further once this is done.

replies: text: I've swapped the pages regional rail and commuter train. So the history here reflects what was there originally and vice versa. I hope this isn't too confusing. Mintguy (T) — Preceding undated comment added 12:21, 25 August 2004 (UTC)

message: "Commuter rail, regional rail or suburban rail is a passenger rail transport service between a city center, and outer suburbs and commuter towns or other locations that draw large numbers of commuters"
* Sububrban Rail (at least in europe and Japan) aplies to rapid transit systems over the national railways tracks even when the entire route is used solely by those same suburban trains ... in most of the places the notion of "segregated" rapid transit don't even apply properly
* regional rail are trains that run from one place to another (but are not express/intercity trains) and usually stop at small places en route where the intercity trains wouldn't stop (frequencyes can be as high as any rapid transit system in some well developed areas) 
* commuter rail ... looks to me that it's the low/high end of regional rail ... very blurry as a definition indeed since suburban and regional trains are very distinct from one another. 83.132.236.47 (talk) 03:56, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I've just rewritten the following paragraph:
:“In some cases, hybrids between a train and a metro have been created. They run underground in the dense city centres and on surface or elevated tracks in lower-density areas. Examples include the Madrid Cercanías network, the Dublin Area Rapid Transit, the Liverpool Merseyrail network, the Paris RER, lines 6-8 of the Barcelona Metro, the S-Bahn systems of Berlin, Munich, Vienna and Zürich, the Naples narrow gauge Circumvesuviana, the suburban railway (HÉV) in Budapest, Valparaíso Metro, San Francisco's BART, and the rail systems of Tokyo, Seoul (Seoul Metropolitan Subway), Sydney (CityRail), Melbourne and Brisbane (CityTrain.”
IMO, just running underground in the city centre does not make a commuter rail a “hybrid“ system. All of these systems were clearly classified as rapid transit or commuter rail on the pages describing them. — cfaerber ✐ 16:19, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Although IMO Oceania is a perversion of 'Australasia', my edit reflects the hierachy of listing Melbourne 3rd after Sydney and Brisbane. I have edited the page to reflect Melbourne's status as the premier commuter rail system in the region, if not the hemisphere. Melbourne boasts 211 suburban stations on 16 lines to Sydeny's 170 stations on 11 lines. 119.161.71.12 (talk)!MOFO1O  —Preceding undated comment added 11:07, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Where did a lot of the criteria about what constitutes a commuter rail system come from? Are there any sources for that? For example, it says "outer suburbs beyond 15 km (10 miles)." Where did that number come from? Are they arbitrary numbers? The characteristics and many other information on this page needs to be cited. Unown Uzer717 (talk) 01:11, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
