Have you ever been concern about the fact that when you get into a bus is too crowded?
You probably saw this type of picture … not this one!
Any interest in new inventions?
A fascinating public transport idea came up, of course from our friends the Chinese - giant super-buses - 6 meters wide and 4.5 meters high. The new technology seems quicker and cheaper to build than a subway or monorail system. Just a small adjustment to the road. But, what is that amazing about this idea is the fact that the bus will pass over cars.
As the video is not yet translated, please read further for details.
The bus will take two lanes of the roads and the cars will be passed by buses as by a tunnel.
The bus will be fully electrical, charging stations can be placed in stations. Traffic lights can also be controlled – the bus being prioritized to pass. A system is going to be used to avoid accidents. A laser/ radar system, as well as a voice system will be in place to announce drivers beneath the bus about the bus intentions – turn left or right. If a car wishes to turn the same way as the bus, its driver can communicate with the bus driver.
Each bus will have a capacity of 1,200 people. For cities with more than a million people sounds ok. And let`s not forget China has 120 with more than one million inhabitants.
This is not just some pipe dream project; the pilot program goes into construction by the end of this year in the Mentougou district of Beijing.
