Explanation

The Japanese noun '準急 (じゅんきゅう)' refers to a type of train service that is faster than local trains but slower than express trains. It is often used in the context of public transportation to describe trains that make fewer stops than local trains but more stops than express trains. For example: I took the semi-express train「準急に乗りました」(じゅんきゅうにのりました). The semi-express train stops at major stations「準急は主要な駅に停まります」(じゅんきゅうはしゅようなえきにとまります). This term is commonly used in train schedules and announcements to help passengers understand the level of service provided by the train.
