China’s TEB, Transit Elevated Bus, is now on the road

Two-metre high road bus is designed to travel above cars on the road freeing traffic to drive underneath it

Speeds of up to 60km, run on rails instead of the road itself carrying the equivalent of 40 conventional buses

The design decongests traffic on metropolitan roads

The vehicle can hit speeds up to 60km, ferrying the equivalent of 40 conventional buses

Once fully operational the vehicle is expected to hit speeds of up to 60km/h. It will run on rails instead of the road itself but link together with up to another four TEBs, the equivalent of 40 conventional buses.
Engineer Bai Zhiming told CCTV: ‘The TEB has the same functions as the subway, while its cost of construction is less than one fifth of the subway.’

It’s design means cars can pass underneath it

Urban mass transit  with minimal negative impact on extisting traffic.
