Traditional commuter rail runs less frequent than light rail. The East Corridor EMU line is more of a heavy rail line (subway type line) running at-grade, It is being designed to run as frequently as one train every 7.5 minutes. The current plan is to run East Corridor trains once every 15 minutes on both peak and off peak. This will basically be express heavy rail service between downtown and the airport, running at-grade (instead of above/below-grade) to save on cost.
