Cercanías Bilbao (Basque: Bilboko Aldiriak) is a commuter rail network in Bilbao, serving the city and its metropolitan area. It is operated by Cercanías, as part of Renfe, the national railway company. It consists of three lines, named C-1, C-2 and C-3. All three of them start at Bilbao-Abando station, which is the central station of the city.
Cercanías Bilbao follows the same patterns as other Cercanías networks in the country, as Cercanías Madrid or Cercanías Barcelona. The network consists of three lines, all of them starting at Bilbao-Abando and linking the center of Bilbao with other municipalities within the metropolitan area. There are three lines, named C-1, C-2 and C-3; the first two follow the Estuary of Bilbao, and the C-3 reaches municipalities outside the metropolitan area. The network has connections with Metro Bilbao (rapid transit), FEVE (commuter rail), Renfe (regional trains) and EuskoTran (tramway) and Bilbao's bus station, Termibus.
