The Chinese have always been groovy at edifice things that exit virtually of us only bedazzled. That'due south exactly what happened when back in last May when moving picture of a weird motorcoach started actualization on the internet. Some people like me were excited, simply most were talking about how insane the idea is. The whole idea behind the 'straddling bus' was to have care of two of the worst traffic bug of China, that are air pollution and growing number of vehicles on the road. The idea may have been great but people weren't very supportive, they compared it to existence a big NOPE that was eating cars travelling underneath.

It is called TEB which is short for Transit Elevated Jitney and it underwent its starting time ride this Tuesday. The internet criticism wasn't really property back the Chinese company that was determined to make this motorbus.

The pictures show the interior equally quite spacious which is over 72 feet long and 25 feet broad. The motorbus itself is sixteen anxiety tall which is more than size of a normal bus; then once again this isn't normal at all. The bus likewise offers about 7 feet of space below its surface for cars to travel nether it. The TEB has got a generous capacity of effectually 300 passengers and it rides forth special tracks embedded in the street taking upwardly a lot less infinite than usual.

Although this is a great initiative it notwithstanding raises some questions of feasibility and condom, the about important question out of these would be that would information technology cause more traffic deaths (hopefully not).
