Here in the U.S. we can't even get a bullet train. In Japan, they are so old hat that they are creating a Hello Kitty Bullet Train — a real one! It will run in Western Japan starting this summer. According to a Quartz Media article, "Japan will debut an adorable Hello Kitty-themed bullet train in June", the train will be "…decorated with Hello Kitty images, headrests, armrests, and ribbons, plus a life-size doll for traveler photo opportunities."

  And by the way…Taiwan already has one.
