Traffic jams almost a thing of the past – the bus driving over traffic jams is finally here – Business Week

The bus is wide as a two-lane road and can run over vehicles that are up to two meters high without any problems.

the images of the prototype was spread earlier this year. Now the bus running across both stationary and passing cars on the other hand has become reality and conducted its first test drive.

The official name is “The transit elevated bus” and hope with it is that it can reduce traffic jams up to 30 percent.

the idea is for passengers to pass quickly and smoothly the traffic jams, according to the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet article. It will be run entirely on electricity, to be wide as a two-lane road and pass vehicles that are up to two meters high.

A bussdel can accommodate 300 people and the total should be four parts to be connected, thus, as many as 1 200 passengers transported over traffic jams. Which means it could replace 40 buses.

In addition calculated the new vehicle could reduce fuel consumption by 800 tonnes.

According to project engineer Song Youzhou bus can be taken into use at a significantly faster rate than metros. While it is considerably cheaper to manufacture compared to subways. So far it is still unclear when the bus will be in use, but several cities, according Youzhou shown great interest.

The biggest advantage that Youzhous see is how much space is saved with the new bus.
