Japan The term "limited express" is a common translation of the Japanese compound noun ; ; often abbreviated as , though some operators translate the word differently. There are two types of limited express trains: inter-city rail, intercity, and commuter rail, commuter. The former type of limited express trains generally use long-distance coaches, equipped better than other ordinary express trains, including reserved seating, dining cars, food and beverage cars, and "green cars" (first class cars).
