Réseau express régional

Réseau Express Régional ( RER short, German as " Regional Express ( train ) network " ) is in French-speaking countries, the usual term for S -Bahn -like suburban railway transport systems. The first RER system was introduced in the Paris region (see Réseau express régional d' Ile- de -France ). The first two lines (A and B, 1977) are from the local public transport company RATP (metro) and the state railway SNCF operated together, the later lines C, D and E only by the SNCF.

RER systems outside of Paris

More RER systems exist in other French cities as well as in the Francophone Switzerland (for example, the S-Bahn Léman ). For the Belgian capital Brussels, the SNCB / NMBS is also planning a RER system (see Gewestelijk ExpresNet / Réseau Express Régional ( Brussels) ).
