Suburban Railway
Commuter rail or suburban rail is a passenger rail service that primarily operates within a metropolitan area, connecting commuters to a central city from adjacent suburbs or commuter towns. Commuter rail systems can use locomotive-hauled trains or multiple units, using electric or diesel propulsion. Distance charges or zone pricing may be used. The term can refer to systems with a wide variety of different features and service frequencies, but is often used in contrast to rapid transit or light rail. Some services share similarities with both commuter rail and high-frequency rapid transit; examples include German S-Bahn in some cities, the Réseau Express Régional (RER) in Paris, the S Lines in Milan, many Japanese commuter systems, the East Rail line in Hong Kong, and some Australasian suburban networks, such as Sydney Trains. Many commuter rail systems share tracks with other passenger services and freight. In North America, commuter rail sometimes refers only to syst ...

M51 Motorway (Hungary)
The M51 expressway () is a 2x2 road without hard shoulder between the 51 road and the M5 motorway. It was part of M0 motorway until 2013 when it was renamed. Many people still mistakenly call it M0. The bypass of road 51 around Dunaharaszti (a 2x1 road) is also included in M51. History The first section of the M0 motorway was constructed in 1988 as a bypass of main road 51 in Dunaharaszti. It was planned that the next section of the M0 would have continued through a tunnel under populated areas in Budapest's Eighteenth District, but due to its high cost, this plan was abandoned. As a result, due to the existence of Ferenc Liszt International Airport and populated areas, the eastern section of the M0 had to be placed much further south than originally planned. Because of this change in planning, it was no longer possible to connect the old section to the rest of M0 because of its location, so a new section, immediately adjacent to the existing M0, had to be built between main ro ...
