Persontåg

Persontåg refers to passenger trains, a mode of rail transport designed to carry people rather than freight. These trains operate on a fixed schedule and are a vital part of public transportation networks in many countries. They range from local commuter trains serving urban and suburban areas to long-distance intercity services connecting major cities, and even high-speed trains that significantly reduce travel times.

The design of persontåg varies widely depending on their intended use. Commuter trains often consist of multiple carriages designed for frequent stops and quick boarding and alighting, while intercity and high-speed trains prioritize comfort, speed, and amenities for longer journeys. Power sources can include electric traction, often supplied by overhead lines or a third rail, or diesel engines. Modern persontåg are increasingly incorporating advanced technologies for safety, efficiency, and passenger experience, such as real-time information systems and accessibility features. The development and operation of persontåg are crucial for reducing road congestion, lowering carbon emissions, and providing accessible travel options for diverse populations.
