List of suburban and commuter rail systems

This is an alphabetical listing of cities and countries that have commuter or suburban railways that are currently operational and in service. Commuter and suburban rail systems are train services that connect city centres with outer suburbs or nearby cities, with most passengers traveling for work or school. Unlike metros or light rail these systems usually operate on main line tracks unsegregated from other rail traffic. They differ from regional rail in that they usually have a hub-and-spoke paradigm and are focused on moving large number of passengers to a central business district.

9. Only the urban section between Piazzale Flaminio station and Montebello station
10. Most of this company's once-extensive rail lines have closed, and this company now primarily functions as a bus operator on its former railway routes.
11. Only the Atsumi Line is a commuter railway, the other line that Toyotetsu operates, the Azumada Main Line, is a tram line.
12. The company itself does not own any rolling stocks, instead it provides through service for 4 other railway companies (Shintetsu, Hanshin, Hankyu, and Sanyo) into Kobe city center.
13. As the name "Tozan", or "mountain-climbing", indicates, this line is a primary scenic railway for the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park uphill. However, Odakyu commuter trains operate on the section from Odawara to Hakone-Yumoto, thus only this section should be considered as commuter rail.
14. 5, if only the section from Odawara to Hakone-Yumoto is counted.
15. 6.1, if only the section from Odawara to Hakone-Yumoto is counted.
16. The Daiyūzan Line serves Odawara, a city inside the Greater Tokyo; the other line Sunzu Line serves Mishima, which is outside Greater Tokyo.

• ^1 Sydney, Melbourne, Berlin, Copenhagen, Hamburg, London, Paris (RER) and São Paulo (CPTM) 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. Nonetheless, the International Association of Public Transport (French: L’Union internationale des transports publics (UITP)) does not consider these systems to be "metro" systems. ^[81]

40. Defined here as the SUGOCA coverage area (as of 2012.04.01), together with the Gotōji Line and the Jōno ‒ Tagawa-Gotōji section of the Hita-Hikosan Line. In comparison to the tabulation here, JR Kyūshū's Fukuoka Suburban Area ( 福岡近郊区間 ) as defined for fare-calculation purposes includes the Haruda ‒ Keisen section of the Chikuhō Main Line and the Tagawa-Gotōji ‒ Imayama section of the Hita-Hikosan Line, but excludes the Kagoshima Main Line south of Tosu; the Nagasaki Main Line; the Chikuhi Line / Karatsu Line; the Nippō Main Line south of Yukuhashi; and the Moji ‒ Shimonoseki section of the San'yō Main Line.
41. Defined here as the ICOCA coverage area Archived 2011-04-04 at the Wayback Machine in the Hiroshima area. The tabulation shown here roughly correlates to JR West’s Hiroshima City Network ( 広島シティネットワーク ), but includes the Hiro ‒ Mihara section of the Kure Line and the Shiraichi ‒ Itozaki section of the San'yō Main Line.
42. The Takahama Line and the Yokogawara Line now operate as a single line, which means that a train goes directly from Takahama Station to Yokogawara Station via Matsuyama City Station, yet they're still counted as two separate lines.
43. Defined here as the TOICA coverage area (as of 2012.05.30), together with the Sekigahara ‒ Maibara and Ōgaki ‒ Mino-Akasaka sections of the Tōkaidō Main Line; the Yokkaichi ‒ Kameyama section of the Kansai Main Line; the Kameyama ‒ Taki section of the Kisei Main Line; the Sangū Line; and the Toyokawa ‒ Hon-Nagashino section of the Iida Line. Unlike Greater Tokyo and Osaka‒Kobe‒Kyoto, JR Central has no suburban area (近郊区間) defined for the Greater Nagoya area for fare calculation purposes, and the TOICA coverage area is limited, with some trains continuing beyond the boundaries of the current coverage area.

JR West has no suburban area (近郊区間) defined for the Okayama area for fare calculation purposes, and the ICOCA coverage area is limited, with most trains continuing beyond the boundaries of the current coverage area.
47. Defined here as the union of JR West’s Urban Network ( アーバンネットワーク ) (as of 2012.03.17) and the Osaka Suburban Area ( 大阪近郊区間 ) for fare calculation purposes, omitting Shinkansen sections. The Urban Network is mostly identical to the Osaka Suburban Area, but omits the Kakogawa Line; the Sasayamaguchi – Tanikawa section of the Fukuchiyama Line; the Maibara – Shin-Ōsaka section of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen; and the Nishi-Akashi – Aioi section of the Sanyō Shinkansen.
