China
has made a breakthrough invention of a Hoverbus that could become the
revolutionary means of transportation. The Hoverbus drives over the top of
other cars.
Think
of getting stuck in traffic? Think no more of that as engineers in China, the
world's most populated country, have come up with a way to overcome the problem
of getting around in traffic.
A
model of a Transit Elevated Bus (TEB) debuted at the ongoing 19th China Beijing
International High-Tech Expo.
TEB
is a purely homegrown invention of China. Its passenger compartment rises far
above other vehicles on the road, allowing cars to pass underneath, which will
largely increase the utilization of road space.
"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,
engineer in charge of the TEB project.
The
first test of such bus is planned to start trail operation in Qinhuangdao City,
north China's Hebei Province, in the second half of 2016.
