China unveils elevated bus that can drive over the top of other cars [Photos and Video]


Getting stuck in a traffic jam can be one of the most frustrating parts of travelling around a busy city. Now engineers in China, the world's most populated country, have come up with a way to overcome the problem of getting around in traffic.

Designs for the new elevated bus were unveiled at a tech expo in China. The bus, pictured above, will apparently be able to carry 1,200 passengers over the top of cars and let traffic to pass underneath it.


The vehicle is more like a cross between a tram and a bus. Engineers hope the design will increase the availability of the road space, and cause fewer traffic jams than regular buses. It is also expected to save costs compared to other public transport options, like the subway. Amazing stuff!
