Welcome aboard the S42 commuter service, which is a bit different than most of the other commuter trains you're used to see here. It only runs monday to friday and only during the morning and evening rush hour. There is no service during the day, on weekends or at nights. It is the very definition of a commuter train: It is used by commuters to get from their homes to their workplaces and back home in the evening. There are barely tourists or other travellers to be seen on those trains, but those who are smart enough to leave their cars at home and take the train into the busy city centre. Of course, during non-operational times of the S42 it is still possible to reach all the stops that it serves and it doesn't even take any longer, but it is necessary to switch trains during one point of the journey. And this is where the S42 comes into play and connects the "Freiamt" region, located in the canton of Aargau, with an (almost) non-stop service in the Zurich Region and the city centre of Zurich.
