Trust the Chinese to live by their words and go every mile to find solutions to some of the world’s biggest problems.
All around the world, from New York to Lagos, traffic is a big problem and China is about to solve this.
Engineers in China have made every city-dweller’s dream come true with a new invention, by building an elevated bus that can drive above car traffic.
On Tuesday in Qinhuangdao City, the straddling Transit Elevated Bus (TEB) went on its first road test.
Chinese engineers first teased the globe with a toy-size model in May—and within few weeks, TEB inventors have surprised the world by building the actual gargantuan vehicle.
RT reports that, “the environmentally-friendly bus is powered by electricity and solar energy generated by panels in its roof. The whole vehicle, designed to maximize the use of road space, is some 22 meters long and 8 meters wide, which makes it able to blanket multiple lanes of traffic.”
“One bus can carry up to 300 passengers, but developers plan to use it as a Metro system of four adjoining cars at a time or more. Fitting up to 1,200 passengers at a time, the futuristic machine can solve both the problems caused by overpopulation and traffic jams,” the website adds.
The bus which went on a test drive can run to a speed of 60kph.
