Local trains are a type of commuter train that primarily serve short-distance travel within a specific region or city. They make frequent stops at various stations, allowing passengers to easily access neighborhoods and local attractions. These trains are designed to accommodate daily commuters, students, and anyone needing to travel within the urban area. Typically, local trains operate on a fixed schedule and are often more affordable than long-distance trains. They are an essential part of public transportation systems in many cities, helping to reduce traffic congestion and promote environmentally friendly travel options. Examples of local train systems include the Metro-North Railroad in New York and the S-Bahn in Germany.
