Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure relates to wear resistant transportation systems, methods, and apparatus. In one embodiment, a system includes a contact device, a conductor bar, and a mobile unit. The contact device is coupled to the mobile unit and in electrical communication with both the conductor bar and the mobile unit. The contact device is configured to travel across, and is in contact with, the conductor bar coincidental to movement of the mobile unit. A thin, conductive wear resistant coating is located on an outer surface of at least one of the conductor bar and contact device. The thin, conductive wear resistant coating restricts abrading of the outer surface of at least one of the conductor bar and the contact device.
