These are trains that travel short to medium distances. They do not offer much
in terms of comfort and are quite slow, but the fares that they offer
are cheaper than the InterCity trains. On the downside, they can get
crowded, especially in the early morning and late afternoon (peak times), since
they are used by commuters.
They are excellent means to travel from village to village or from one
main city or town to nearby villages. As they are mainly used for short
trips, they do not allow seat reservations, so, if you are travelling in peak
times you may find it difficult to find a free seat and you may have to stand.
Because these trains are generally used for shorter trips they have very little
luggage space. Some interregional trains offer food and drinks but most do not,
so it's always a good idea to take your own refreshments.
