They are linked to Metro systems in Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia. The Cercanías division of Renfe was created in 1989 on the advice of engineer and transit planner Javier Bustinduy ( es; 1949–2016), as part of a major effort to massively increase ridership, frequencies and hence attractiveness of commuter rail systems in Spain.
