磁悬浮列车 (cí xuán fú liè chē): This term refers to magnetic levitation (maglev) trains. These trains use magnetic forces to float above the tracks, allowing them to achieve even higher speeds than 高铁.
快速列车 (kuài sù liè chē): This term refers to express or rapid trains in China. While not as fast as 高铁, they still offer faster travel times compared to regular train services.
