I think that using 'ts' instead of 'c' is easier for some...
In Taiwan, all the laowai pronounce the cities wrong because they all have the Peking-style spelling. Taichung= 台中， Taitung=台东， Kaohsiung=高雄。
Taiwanese don't usually understand pinyin at all either

In China, they don't divide it on whether long or short distance but on slow vs bullet trains
Smoking is allowed on the following trains
Those without alphabets, K-trains and T trains.
Smoking is allowed at the small place between carriages. Something like this. http://www.google.com.sg/imgres?q=sm...:429,r:21,s:80
anywhere else, smoking is not allowed but if you meet someone who doesn't care, all I can say, unlucky loh but if you actually ask them nicely to smoke at the right place they will bulge.
As for the bullet trains which start with D and G - These are non-smoking trains.

On bullet trains, smoking is not allowed anywhere in the train, and it is strictly enforced. On non-bullet trains, smoking is only allowed in reserved areas where two trains cars coupled on, not inside train cars. However, on some worse/older/cheaper trains, this rule is not strictly enforced. But you can always complain to the train conductors if you don't like it.
