The Chinese word 快车 (kuàichē) for "express train" is composed of two characters: 快 (kuài), meaning "fast," and 车 (chē), meaning "vehicle." The term "express train" is used to refer to a train that travels at a higher speed than a regular train and makes fewer stops along its route. The word 快车 is commonly used in China and other Mandarin-speaking regions to describe this type of train service.
