Inaugurated Transit Elevated Bus in China

Some time ago we knew a new urban transport project designed to carry passengers from one place to another to avoid jams. The idea was a bus whose interior was high above the traffic circle above the rest of allowing cars. This project, known as TEB-1 (Transit Elevated Bus) was received with interest in China, where he immediately got down to work to make it a reality. A local company Qinhuangdao City was the first to develop a model of this bus and test it in the streets of the city. Its design is based on a core module of 60 meters long capable of accommodating up to 300 passengers and traveling at more than two meters high above the rest of the traffic. It was the company itself that has begun testing on the streets of the city, which have had a very positive result. This vehicle is not a traditional bus, because instead of driving on asphalt it does on a road parallel to the rails, and powered by electricity it takes a few posts. Although the system is more like a tram, is clearly facing a great alternative to the dissolution of traffic jams in big cities.
