Trem regional é um termo usado para serviços de trem de passageiros que operam entre cidades e vilas. Esses trens operam com mais paradas do que os trens intercidades, e ao contrário dos trens suburbanos, operam além dos limites das áreas urbanas, conectando cidades e vilas menores.

Na América do Norte, trem regional é frequentemente usado como sinônimo de trem suburbano, muitas vezes usando trem suburbano para se referir a sistemas que oferecem serviços principalmente ou apenas durante o horário de pico, enquanto trem regional se refere a sistemas que oferecem serviços durante todo o dia.

Características

O trem regional geralmente é definido como o fornecimento de serviços que ligam áreas urbanas, ao contrário do trem suburbano, que liga locais dentro de uma única área urbana. Diferentemente dos serviços interurbanos, os trens regionais param em mais estações e atendem a comunidades menores. Eles podem compartilhar rotas com serviços interurbanos, fornecendo serviços para assentamentos que os trens interurbanos ignoram, ou ser o único serviço em rotas com pouco movimento para justificar o serviço interurbano.

Os serviços ferroviários regionais têm muito menos probabilidade de serem lucrativos do que os interurbanos (principalmente porque muitos passageiros usam passes mensais, o que resulta em um preço mais baixo por viagem, e a velocidade média mais baixa resulta em menor distância, o que significa menos receita de passagens por hora de operação) e, portanto, exigem financiamento do governo. Isso é justificado por motivos sociais ou ambientais e porque os serviços ferroviários regionais geralmente funcionam como alimentadores de linhas interurbanas mais lucrativas.

Há também serviços que estão entre regionais e intermunicipais, como o Oresundtrain (entre Copenhague e três cidades na Suécia a mais de 3 horas de distância) com padrão de parada como um trem regional e preços de passes que atraem passageiros a trabalho.
