Chinese Engineers Builds An Elevated Bus Drives Above Car Traffic

The straddling Transit Elevated Bus (TEB) went on its first road test on Tuesday in Qinhuangdao City.Chinese engineers have made every city-dweller’s dream come true, building an elevated bus that can drive above car traffic.

After teasing the globe with a toy-size model in May, TEB inventors surprised everyone by building the actual gargantuan vehicle in less than one month.

Tuesday’s test run was conducted by just one bus carriage, which went on a controlled track of some 300 meters in length, testing brakes and power consumption. Although the first drive didn't exactly simulate real road traffic conditions, it certainly fascinated its lucky first passengers. And why wouldn’t it? Everyone loves a sci-fi fantasy-brought-to-life.
