MARTIN-URBANO, Pablo; RUIZ-RUA, Aurora e SANCHEZ-GUTIERREZ, Juan Ignacio. European suburban railways: Economic approach to the new general and operational environment. Cuad. Econ. [online]. 2020, vol.39, n.81, pp.1001-1033. ISSN 0121-4772. https://doi.org/10.15446/cuad.econ.v39n81.78097.
This article aims to highlight the main changes in suburban railways, as result of the liberalisation processes undertaken by the European Union for the last decades. With this purpose, it first takes into consideration the main induced benefits of this mode of transport in European cities from a social, economic, territorial and environmental point of view. Next, it analyses the most relevant transformations that have occurred in the operational framework of European suburban railways, from the perspectives of the service provision, the infrastructure management and the operation of mobile equipment.
