If you can't get around traffic, why not go above it?
On Tuesday, China tested a long-awaited elevated bus that straddles the road, thus allowing traffic to continue below it, China’s Xinhua news agency reported.
The Transit Elevated Bus, nicknamed TEB-1, is about 70-feet-long and can carry up to 300 passengers, according to Xinhua.
The bus, which runs on electricity and solar power, was designed to ease traffic congestion.
Song Youzhou, chief engineer of the project,told CCTV that once the TEBs are operational, one TEB could replace 40 conventional buses. Several TEB buses can be connected to each other, according to the news outlet.
And the novel idea of sending scores of passengers up-and-over traffic has also caught the attention of other countries.
According to Xinhua, Brazil, France, India and Indonesia have expressed interest in the bus.
