The main use of electricity in transportation is traction. The use of motors to drive trains, trams and trolley buses. Transmission system vary depending on their use, vintage and country. Direct current (600 -3000V DC) overhead current collection used on tramways and railways. Conductor rail (600-750V DC) are used mainly on rapid transit and underground (subway) rail systems. Except in the United Kingdom where it is used on some main rail lines in southern England. High voltage alternating current (11-25kV AC) overhead transmission. 11kV 60Hz used in the US; 15kV 16 and two-thirds Hz used in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Scandinavian countries; 25kV (50 or 60Hz depending on the country) developed in France after WWII and used extensively throughout the world in countries as diverse as China (50Hz), the US (60Hz), UK (50Hz) and India.
