Futuristic electric straddling bus concept is now a real full-scale prototype

You’ve probably seen to impressive renderings of an interesting concept for a futuristic electric straddling bus that has been making the rounds in China since earlier this year, but as it turns out, the company behind the concept, Transit Explore Bus or TEB, already produced a full-scale prototype which it inaugurated for a pilot project in Qinhuangdao today. The straddling bus serves the same purpose as a subway system, to provide mass transit without taking up space for road traffic, but TEB estimates that the cost of implementation is only about 16% of the cost of a subway due to removing the need for tunnels.
