Why not share some of your experiences or recommendations about overseas public transport?

I'd recommend Australia - esp if you're a railway fan. Sydney has many double-decker trains while Melbourne has diesel and locomotive driven goods and passenger trains, electric metropolitan trains and electric trams.

I like Melbourne most, as it has many different and interesting varieties of public transport. Quite a number of new-generation trams had been deployed for revenue service. Travel on V/Line regional trains - if you're interested in diesel/diesel locomotive driven trains.
As for metropolitan trains, I recommend travelling the Werribee line - its a scenic route and its thrilling when the train travels at high speeds between the last few stations - which I estimate at ~100 to 110 kmh...

Well, Australia is a BIG country and the distance between stations is far, far away, that's why they have DD trains.

You just have to look at those Tatas. Reminds me of the Merc OFs. And yes, Ashok Leyland still builds Vikings, but with Hino engines. Also got Titan DDs. Leyland in Europe may have died out, but the Indian version still lives on.
