DD trams used to be standard in the British Isles,
and they also existed elsewhere but fell out of favour.
They are now found in Blackpool, Hong Kong,
Alexandria and Birkenhead (which hardly counts).

And Seaton.

Yes, and there may well be a number of other tourist/novelty/heritage
style operations around the world. Are there any other "serious" mass
transport systems?

Why does Birkenhead hardly count?

When I last visited, which admitedly was a long while ago, it was
about this long -- --- and was a "heritage"-style service with ~2
Hong Kong trams running to a small tram museum. It couldn't be used to
go anywhere useful, though it might have expanded (and got longer
opening hours) since then.
