Commuter towns are populated primarily residential area. People living in commuter towns usually commute into the city for work by public transports.
Living in a commuter town tends to be cheaper than living in the city (e.g. London). The house price is lower with better living environment.
Home counties are counties of England which surrounds London where the commuter towns are based.
在外國，通勤城鎮是非常普遍因為外國地方好大。 在大城市工作的人，好多時都是住 在通勤城鎮。他們每日會乘搭公共交通工具入城市裡返工。
住在通勤城鎮比起住在城市裡 (e.g. London)更加便宜，樓價低一節，環境更美好。 通勤城鎮主要是住宅區。
Home Counties 就是圍繞倫敦的外圍的郡。大多數的通勤 城鎮都是在 Home Counties。
