Rookie mistake, should have paid more attention. Anyway, if you include communal rail, other cities have that too, isn't Chinese integrated?

Varies from country to country. China doesn't have regional rail like this they're slooowly introducing it in Beijing iirc)...

I dunno much about it, but I took trains between Chinese cities when I was there. Very convenient for me at least.

No I'm not saying they don't exist at all, but that they are not designed to the same standards as their subways

Got it. Tokyo subways are as fast as intercity rail? Seems wasteful honestly, they can't possibly reach terminal velocity between stations.

No no not intercity rail, metropolitan rail; rail within one metro area, not between them

I know this must be maddening; it's not easy to explain

Rolling stock on the subways tops out at 50-70 mph, most non-HSR lines in Japan top out at 80 mph
