Engineers in China have designed a novel new transportation method in the form of an enormous elevated bus which may make traffic jams a thing of the past.
The innovative vehicle, dubbed the 'Transit Elevated Bus,' would cruise along Chinese highways passing over cars and trucks that are driving below it.
Propelled via rails embedded in the road, the giant bus is designed to seat an incredible 1,200 passengers in its three massive carriages.
The engineer tasked with implementing the project contends that construction of the bus should cost a fraction of what it would take to build a new subway and accrue considerably less maintenance costs as well.
And, despite its futuristic appearance, the jaw dropping vehicle looks to be comparatively easy to construct as Chinese officials expect to begin testing the first 'mega bus' later this year.
Provided the trial period goes well, the Transit Elevated Bus could be in widespread use throughout Chinese cities sometime in the next year or two.
Whether the unique vehicle makes it way over to America in the future remains to be seen, but we're hopeful that it does, because it looks like an incredibly fun way to travel and an awesome way to beat the traffic.
