The Milan suburban railway service is a commuter rail system serving the metropolitan area of Milan, Italy. The system comprises 12 lines serving 125 stations, for a total length of 403 km. There are 415 trains per day with a daily ridership of about 165,000.
The core of the system is the Passante, an underground railway running through the city approximately from the north-west to the south-east. Several lines share this track, making the service in the city centre comparable to a metro line.
The service timetable is based on a clock-face scheduling. Although operated by different companies, the Metro and the suburban rail service have integrated tickets.
Lines in darker background run through the Milan Passante railway.
Lines which share same tracks for the majority of the route are generally identified by similar colors.
The line number S10, formerly used for a part of what is now line S13, has been unused since 2011 to avoid confusion with line S10 of the Canton Ticino commuter rail.
