The Milan S Lines constitute the commuter rail system serving the metropolitan area of Milan, Italy.[2] The system comprises 12 lines serving 124 stations, for a total length of 403 km.[3] There are 415 trains per day with a daily ridership of about 230,000.[1]
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[4] or S-Bahn system.
The service timetable is based on a clock-face scheduling. Although operated by different companies, the Milan Metro and the suburban rail service have integrated tickets.
