And three types of electric busses - legacy trolleys with catenary wires, battery busses, and super capacitor busses. I’m sure there are still plenty of old-school trains about, but today Chinese are boarding comfortable, high speed electric trains coursing on unimpeded raised trackbeds at over 200 MPH between cities large and ever-larger.
