China Straddling Bus
Engineers in China have built a real-life version of the straddling “Transit Elevated Bus”. Yes, it’s the one that actually drives over cars in traffic.



At 22-meter-long, 7.8-meter-wide and 4.8-meter-high, the TEB-1 can accommodate up to 300 passengers, and runs on a set of fixed rails to ensure that it doesn’t stray off course in case of human error. Even with all of the safety systems in place, we just wouldn’t feel comfortable driving underneath this beast.

With a carrying capacity of 1,200 people at a time, the TEB has the same functions as the subway while its cost of construction is less than one fifth that of the subway. Its construction can be finished in one year,” said Bai Zhiming, head engineer of the TEB project.
