Beijing: China has unveiled design concept for a “straddling bus” which lets cars drive underneath, saving not only the road space but also help reduce air pollution, state media reported today. Also known as a land airbus, the concept was the brainchild of Beijing-based Transit Explore Bus. The passenger compartment spans two traffic lanes and sits 2 metres high above the road surface on a pair of stilts, leaving the road clear for cars to pass underneath. The bus can carry up to 1,400 passengers and travel at a top speed of 60 km per hour. PTI
