    The 3D Express Coach.
    Three-Dimensional Fast Bus
    Project "Straddling Bus"

    The model looks like a subway or light-rail train bestriding the road. It is 4-4.5 m high with two levels: passengers board on the upper level while other vehicles lower than 2 m can go through under. Powered by electricity and solar energy, the bus can speed up to 60 km/h carrying 1200-1400 passengers at a time without blocking other vehicles' way. Also it costs about 500 million yuan to build the bus and a 40-km-long path for it, only 10% of building equivalent subway. It is said that the bus can reduce traffic jams by 20-30%.

    Your thoughts on it?

    I think it's pretty futuristic...

    Not only futuristic... kinda creepy. Driving under a bus train thing... Personally, I think it would be hard to drive with something being driven over you... Kinda distracting in a way I guess. And if the vehicle is over 2 meters... hm... o3o

    Haha, yeah.

    Apparently the construction for the first 115 miles of track will begin at the end of 2010... Gonna start it in the Beijing Mentougou district.

    Technology is such an interesting thing... And what's with this 3D thing/trend? o3o... 3DS. 3D Express Coach. 3D TV. 3D 3D 3D.

    Rofl... those buses get into a traffic jam... o3o... that'd be bad. But I'm guessing it'd be like a subway system so they would avoid traffic jam.

    And as for 3D being the future... isn't the world around us 3D? o3o... Last time I checked, the pencil in front of me is not a 2D object... o3o...
