Also China has a weird thing about battery operated trams. Not sure why they don't put up the wires for so many of them.

This one looks to be the 深爱号 Shen'ai Hao in Longhua district Shenzhen. The name is a pun meaning both 'Deep love' and 'Shen[zhen] love' because both share the first character 深.

It's also might be a bit of word play with 爱号(aì haò), as 爱好(aì haò)(hobby) sound the same, the whole word can be interpreted as ShenZhen's Hobby, because it's an advanced city in China and tech is their hobby.

You're right! I'm not a native speaker so that pun didn't jump out to me straight away. It's very playful. I really hope to visit Shenzhen one day.
