Futuristic transport concept will Over vehicle


It look like a cross between an over vehicle train and a transformer. But this is actually an elevated bus and China hopes it holds the answer to its crazy traffic jams.


The Transit Elevated Bus would see passengers ride above the traffic below with stops placed along the route in a similar system to the subway except apparently cheaper.
A scale model of the bus was unveiled just days ago at the 19th China Beijing International High-Tech Expo, and it certainly attracted some attention. Bai Zhiming told China’s Central Television network, CCTV News With a carrying capacity of 1200 people at a time, the TEB has the same functions as the subway while its cost of construction is less than one fifth of the subway.
Its construction can be finished in one year.

The bus is high enough to glide over the top of cars, allowing traffic to pass underneath while increasing road space.
An elevator would allow passengers to board from street level, similar to an above ground train system.
It is understood authorities are looking to trial the bus in Hebei’s Qinhuangdao city in the second half of this year.
it coming and make adjustments as necessary. It probably would prevent most of potential accidents. But overall I think there are more challenges than advantages in the US to consider. It's an amazing concept and all, but it is a bad idea with how some people drive.
