    Not everywhere. There are still enough lines that aren’t electrified so diesel locomotives have to be used.

      That’s regional public transport, not local. I dare you to show me a city with diesel subway trains.

        That is as local as it gets around here. We don’t have subways or street cars, it’s either busses (diesel) or train (motor coach actually) for even single digit km distances.

        But yeah, it is real rail, not some separate local network.
