I don't quite follow the use of the word "hybrid" in this context. Are they implying a hybrid of high-speed & high-frequency? Or hybrid in a propulsion sense (only partially electified)?
After spending 2 weeks in Japan and shuttling around on the Shinkansen, I can attest that high-speed and high-frequency are not mutually exclusive.*
* - I am of course fully aware this would never fly here.
