Remember China's Elevated Bus That Drives Over Traffic? Well, They've Actually Built It
Back in May we told you about a prototype bus in China that would, if built, literally drive right over traffic jams. Well, if we're being totally honest with you, we never believed that the Transit Elevated Bus would actually get made. Which is why we're pretty surprised to tell you that the TEB has literally just taken its first test drive in Qinhuangdao, Hebei!
The idea was first proposed at the 19th China Beijing International High-Tech Expo in May. Despite having nothing but a miniature model, developers Jinchuang Corp said they could have the bus ready by August. And true to their word, the TEB hit the road yesterday. It was only tested on 300 metres of track, but the fact that they could even make it – and in such a short amount of time – is impressive enough for us.
The developers say it'll only take a year to finish. And this time, we believe them.
China's Transit Elevated Bus (TEB) was nothing but a model back in May
And this is what it looks like just three months later!

Awesome! China's futuristic "straddling bus" launches 1st road test
China's Transit Elevated Bus (TEB) went through a road test in north China's Hebei Province on Tuesday. The passenger compartment rises far above other vehicles on the road, allowing cars to pass underneath.
The test-run tried to simulate real traffic conditions with one bus compartment traveling at a speed of 10 km per hour on a section of a 300-meter-long test track.
