A Regionalbahn is a type of train service in Germany that operates on regional routes, connecting smaller towns and cities. These trains typically stop at more stations than intercity trains, making them a convenient option for local travel. They are often used for commuting and can be an essential part of the public transportation system in various regions. The Regionalbahn services are usually operated by regional railway companies and are part of the broader German railway network, which includes the national railway company, Deutsche Bahn. These trains provide an affordable and efficient way for passengers to travel within a specific area, promoting accessibility and mobility.
