Train schedule

The general range of commuter trains' travel distance varies between 15 and 200 km (9.3 and 124.3 mi). Still, longer distances can be covered when trains run between two or more cities (e.g., the S-Bahn in the Ruhr area of Germany). Distances between stations may vary, but are usually much longer than those of urban rail systems. In the city center, the train may terminate, or run through the city center to serve suburbs on the other side before returning.
