Straddling bus The china's new technology

China is forward in all spheres. We can see this by their new technologies

China’s new straddling bus concept (which is not a giant female monster riding a school bus), designed by Youzhou Song of Shenzen, is about as close as it gets- and promises to be the new solution to the country’s pollution problems and highly congested roads.

This 18 ft tall, 25 ft wide public bus, which can carry up to 1,200 passengers, is powered by a combination of municipal electricity and solar power derived from panels on the bus’ roofs and at bus stops. It travels at an average speed of 25 mph (40 km) and could reduce traffic jams by 25 to 30 percent on main routes.

Enormous buses, large enough that cars drive underneath and thru them, is the focus of an amazing new project from Shenzhen Huashi Future Car-Parking Equipment. The 3D Express Coach (or Straddling Bus) design, powered by solar and electrical energy, utilizes unused space between cars and bridges, creating further commuting opportunities in the bustling city of Beijing.The Straddling Bus is 4-4.5m (13.1-14.8ft) high, 6m wide (19.7ft) and can travel at speeds of 60kph (37.3mph) while carrying more than 1200-1400 passengers at any given time.  Much more economical than building more subways, the super-sized bus project is going to pilot in Beijing’s Mentougou District this year. It is also predicted to save more than 2,640 tonnes of CO2 per year by eliminating other modes of transport and reducing road congestion.There are various warning systems, such as ultrasonic and laser proximity detectors to monitor close vehicles, and lights to warn drivers to give extra space or stay back while the bus turns.
