# It is forbidden to travel in an electric train which will make scheduled stops whether it's a intercity or within the city train. <ref>Yalkut Yosef (vol 1, pg 55) </ref>
# If one needs to travel for a mitzvah (such as a doctor to the hospital, or a Mohel to a Brit) it is permissible to take an electric subway, where the driver is non-Jewish, majority of the passengers are non-Jewish, and it only travels within the city, as long as one pays before Shabbat and is let on without giving money or a card. Additionally, as much as possible a person should do this in private. <Ref> Chazon Ovadyah (Shabbat vol 1 pg 130) </ref>
