Sometimes [[high-speed rail]] can serve daily use of commuters. The Japanese [[Shinkansen]] high speed rail system is heavily used by commuters in the [[Greater Tokyo Area]], who commute between {{convert|100|and|200|km|abbr=on|0}} by [[Shinkansen]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eesi.org/papers/view/fact-sheet-high-speed-rail-development-worldwide|title=Fact Sheet: High Speed Rail Development Worldwide {{!}} White Papers {{!}} EESI|website=www.eesi.org|access-date=2019-12-04}}</ref> To meet the demand of commuters, [[Japan Railways Group|JR]] sells commuter discount passes. Before 2021, they operated 16-car [[bilevel car|bilevel]] [[E4 Series Shinkansen]] trains at rush hour, providing a capacity of 1,600 seats.<ref>{{Cite web|title=JR East to Retire the Last Double-Decker Shinkansen Train – Japan Station|url=https://www.japanstation.com/jr-east-to-retire-the-last-double-decker-shinkansen-train/|access-date=2021-08-11|website=www.japanstation.com|date=18 July 2021 }}</ref> Several lines in [[high-speed rail in China|China]], such as the [[Beijing–Tianjin Intercity Railway]] and the [[Shanghai–Nanjing High-Speed Railway]], serve a similar role with many more under construction or planned.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.shine.cn/news/metro/1806116099/|title=Metro closes the gap with areas across the border – SHINE|website=SHINE|language=en|access-date=2018-06-23}}</ref>

In [[high-speed rail in South Korea|South Korea]], some sections of the high-speed rail network are also heavily used by commuters, such as the section between [[Gwangmyeong Station]] and [[Seoul Station]] on the [[KTX]] network ([[Gyeongbu High-speed railway|Gyeongbu HSR Line]]), or the section between [[Dongtan Station]] and [[Suseo station]] on the [[Super Rapid Train|SRT]] Line. 

The high-speed services linking [[Zurich]], [[Bern]] and [[Basel]] in [[high-speed rail in Switzerland|Switzerland]] ({{convert|200|km/h|abbr=on}}) have brought the Central Business Districts (CBDs) of these three cities within 1 hour of each other. This has resulted in unexpectedly high demand for new commuter trips between the three cities and a corresponding increase in suburban rail passengers accessing the high-speed services at the main city-centre stations ({{lang|de|Hauptbahnhof}}). The [[Regional-Express]] commuter service between [[Munich]] and [[Nuremberg]] in Germany runs at {{convert|200|km/h|abbr=on}} on the {{convert|300|km/h|abbr=on|0}} [[Nuremberg–Ingolstadt high-speed railway]].

The regional trains [[Stockholm]]–[[Uppsala]], Stockholm–[[Västerås]], Stockholm–[[Eskilstuna]] and [[Gothenburg]]–[[Trollhättan]] in [[high-speed rail in Sweden|Sweden]] reach {{convert|200|km/h|abbr=on}} and have many daily commuters.

In [[Great Britain]], the [[HS1]] domestic services between London and Ashford runs at a top speed of 225 km/h, and in peak hours the trains can be full with commuters standing. 

The [[Athens Suburban Railway]] in Greece consists of five lines, 4 of which are electrified. The [[Kiato railway station|Kiato]]–[[Piraeus]] line and the [[Aigio railway station|Aigio]]–[[Athens Airport Station|Airport]] lines reach speeds of up to {{convert|180|km/h|abbr=on|0}}. The [[Athens]]–[[Chalcis]] line is also expected to attain speeds of up to {{convert|200|km/h|abbr=on|0}} upon upgrading of the SKA–Oinoi railway sector. These lines also have many daily commuters, with the number expected to rise even higher upon full completion of the [[Acharnes Railway Center]].

[[Eskişehir]]-[[Ankara]] and [[Konya]]-[[Ankara]] high speed train routes serve as high speed commuter trains in [[high-speed rail in Turkey|Turkey]].
