China Showcases Elevated Bus
空中巴士亮相
China surprised the world by doing a road test of an elevated bus that could reduce traffic problems. The electric bus, which is about 72 feet long and 25 feet wide, spans across a few traffic lanes and allows vehicles to drive beneath it. The prototype of the Transit Elevated Bus (TEB) seats about 300 passengers, but future versions could hold even more people. The builders say that the buses are much cheaper than expanding underground transit. Though the elevated bus is not yet roadworthy, other countries including India, France, and Brazil have expressed interest in using a similar type of transit for their own busy roads.
中國測試可緩解擁堵“空中巴士”汽車,它也讓世界為之驚嘆。此款電動巴士車長約72英尺,25英尺寬,跨越多條車道,車輛可在其下方通行。“空中巴士”可容納約300人,未來或將容納更多乘客。建造方稱“空中巴士”比拓展地鐵更廉價。盡管它的適用度還不高,但印度、法國和巴西等國都表達了對建造類似巴士的興趣。
