A commuter town is a town whose residents normally work elsewhere, although they live and sleep in these neighborhoods. The name also suggests that these communities have little commercial or industrial activity beyond a small amount of retail, oriented toward serving the residents.
A commuter town may also be known as an exurb (short for "extra-urban"), or a bedroom community (Canada and northeastern U.S. usage), bedroom town or bedroom suburb (U.S. usage), a dormitory town or dormitory suburb (UK Commonwealth and Ireland usage also sometimes Canadian), or less commonly a dormitory village (UK Commonwealth Ireland and sometimes Canadian as well). The phrase "bedroom town" has also been adopted into the Japanese wasei-eigo word bed town (ベッドタウン, beddotaun).
Suburbs and commuter towns are often the same place, but sometimes not. As with college town, resort town, and mill town, the term commuter town describes the place's predominant economic function. A suburb in contrast is a community of lesser size, density, political power and/or commerce than a nearby community. Economic function may change, for example when improved transport brings commuters to industrial suburbs or railway towns in search of suburban living. Some suburbs, for example Teterboro, New Jersey and Emeryville, California remained industrial when they became surrounded by commuter towns. Many commuters work in such industrial suburbs but few reside; hence, they are not commuter towns.

The Hershey train, or as some locals call it "the chocolate train," is a vital link between Cuba's capital Havana and a string of remote towns stretching east from the capital for 60 miles 96 (kilometres) along Cuba's eastern coast. It's only two cars long and runs on electricity. The train's starting point adjacent to Havana Bay gives little indication of its importance to the lives of the people who use it regularly, or its unique history. A run-down station called Casa Blanca, or "White House," marks the start of the train's 60-mile run. The train takes passengers through a picturesque landscape of Cuba's rugged interior, ending in Matanzas, 60 miles east of Cuba's capital. The line was established by U.S. chocolate magnate Milton S. Hershey in 1916, who also went on to build a f...

Spring and summer may be the ‘busy season’ in real estate, but the fall is actually a great time to sell a house. It makes perfect sense when you think about it – many spring and summer listings are expiring and coming off the market in the fall, so you’ll have less competition. Fall buyers who weren’t able to get into a new home during the summer are more serious, too. To find out more about why the fall is such a great time to sell your house, watch this short video. - http://njcommutertowns.blogspot.com/2016/09/why-fall-is-great-time-to-sell-your-home.html Buying a New Jersey Commuter Towns Area Home?

Many home sellers think they can overprice their home to test the market or leave room for negotiation. What these sellers don't realize is that overpricing a home can actually end up costing them money in the end, for a number of reasons. First and foremost, overpricing can scare buyers away. People tend to overestimate the number of buyers who will be interested in their home, so they really can't afford to scare away any number of buyers. For all the reasons why overpricing your home can be costly to you when selling, watch this short video. - http://njcommutertowns.blogspot.com/2016/09/why-overpricing-your-home-can-net-you.html Buying a New Jersey Commuter Towns Area Home?

My team and I are looking for a mental/emotional health service organization so that we can help bring awareness to them, and we need your help. Currently, these mental and emotional health support organizations are not well known because of their limited resources, and we want to help change that. Our project, Rise Up Kids, aims to bring them to the community to make people aware of all they do. Would you know where to refer a friend with a child coping with the loss of a parent, a mental health issue, or a substance abuse problem? For more information on this cause and how you can help, watch this short video. - http://njcommutertowns.blogspot.com/2016/09/help-us-bring-awareness-to-cause-thats.html Buying a New Jersey Commuter Towns Area Home?

Here are some tips for buying a commuter bike! Eyelets or braze-ons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEPSOkq8dkc These are mounting points on the bike frame that enable you to install bicycle fenders (mudguards) and racks to your bike more easily and cleanly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEPSOkq8dkc Fenders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a20DM6WOxlw Whether they come with the bike or not you'll want some for riding in the rain. The more wheel coverage the better. Pick a size that fits your tires. Racks or bags. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azFzaYSmWXc A bicycle rack is very useful for carrying heavy or large loads like books and groceries. Panniers are bags that easily attach to bike racks. Many people use bungee cords to secure things but compression straps are also a good opti...
Unedited footage of the commute from Sports Village to Cardiff Castle by bicycle by David Malins (PR and Social Media Officer, Cardiff Cycle Campaign).
I live in Astoria and work in Manhattan. I commute to work by bicycle every day with agreeable weather. I have been doing this without any accidents of any kind since the spring of 2010. I have a GoPro Hero 2 HD mounted to my bike, and record every ride. I have tons of these recordings saved, but haven't shared any of them. I was waiting for something interesting to happen during the ride. As of yet, nothing has happened. I guess because I'm jaded I didn't think that the average ride could itself be interesting. At least one person wanted to see it, so here it is. Also, there are many people I have met who are afraid to ride their bike on busy city streets. I was also afraid at first, and I am still more cautious than most. While the new Citi Bike share program (seen in the video) can g...
I used to commute in and out of from London Liverpool St for over a decade so this in this video I thought I would try the journey from the driver's perspective! I'm driving the Siemens-built Class 360 EMU, operated by Greater Anglia from Colchester Town and my first pick-up is to four more commuter cars at Colchester. I then have to take passengers from Colchester, stopping at a number of stations on the line including my home town of Chelmsford. The setting is winter and it's early morning. When we get to Stratford you can even see the Olympic Stadium used in the London 2012 games.

From the city south end (Villaverde Bajo) to the town's very heart (Puerta del Sol). Took the "relaxing path" (along the river and following its cycle lane) instead of a straight and fastest route.

Boring as hell for most of you, but some people seem to like this sort of thing. This was shot at around 1pm on a normal weekday with a GoPro Hero 4 Silver Edition.
A ride on Barcelona's suburban Cercanías (in Spanish) / Rodalies (in Catalan) commuter rail along the Mediterranean coast north of Barcelona, where old houses and narrow streets on the one hand and new resort structures on the other hand are juxtaposed. Note the two separate begging notes left on the train seat, one by a woman and one by a man a few stations down the line, describing their poverty and the children they are raising, while the reader decides whether or not to be charitable.

With trains too, there's really so much to cover and do so hopefully this is a nice way to get started :) My general goal for the trains right now is to get some regional train stations in place - not too many, just to try and cut back on overall train traffic. Have those passengers then convert to an internal form of public tran...
