慢车

• 拼音: màn chē
• 汉字拆解: 慢 = 忄(heart) + 曼 (phonetic), slow; 车 = simplified vehicle radical

含义

Slow train; local train. A train that stops at every station, as opposed to an express.

Contrasts with 快车 (express train) or 特快 (limited express). 慢车 stops at every station, taking longer but serving smaller towns. Often cheaper than express services. Common in older rail networks; being phased out as high-speed rail expands. Can metaphorically mean a slow, methodical approach.
