Although this straddling bus looks like the product of a very bored imagination and has as much chance to be made as a chocolate radiator, this ‘Straddling’ bus is actually in the planning phase of .
The
design put forward by
Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Co. Ltd is designed to
travel on current roads at speeds of up to 60Km/h carrying 1200-1400 passengers at a time, that would be otherwise blocking the roads in
cars.
Despite
rumors to the contrary the solar/
electric hybrid powered traffic straddler does exactly what it says on the tin straddling traffic rather than swallowing up and carrying
cars. Thus allowing the bus and passengers to glide 4-4.5 meters above the road allowing
cars to either pass underneath unhindered or allow drivers to scowl at the lucky passengers passing over a rush hour traffic jam.
