Reading time: 1 minute
A mass-transit concept has been unveiled which sees a futuristic bus sit up above traffic and allow cars to pass beneath.
Created by Beijing-based Transit Explore Bus (TEB), the ‘Straddle Bus’ was shown off at the 19th China Beijing International High-Tech Expo (CHITEC) over the weekend.
The electric vehicle is said to be cheaper and quicker to develop than subway systems and can hold up to 1,400 passengers.
By replacing traditional busses, the TEB said its invention could save greatly on fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
A YouTube video from China TV further explains the concept and shows a small-scale model of the bus being displayed at the Beijing expo.
