China Plans Huge Buses That Can DRIVE OVER Cars

China has overtaken the United States as the world's biggest producer of greenhouse gases and biggest energy consumer.

But the country is also thinking in big and bold ways when it comes to how it will reduce pollution and a new plan to build a "straddling bus" is among the most space-age schemes yet.

In an effort to go green and relieve congestion without widening roads, the Shenzhen Huashi Future Parking Equipment company is developing a "3D Express Coach" (also known as a "three-dimensional fast bus").

The innovation will allow cars less than 2 meters high to travel underneath the upper level of the vehicle, which will be carrying passengers (PHOTOS).

According to China Hush, the 6-meter-wide 3D Express Coach will be powered by a combination of electricity and solar energy, and will be able to travel up to 60 kilometers per hour carrying some 1200 to 1400 passengers.

The first 115 miles of track is set for construction in Beijing's Mentougou district starting in late 2010. The Chairman of the Huashi Future Parking Equipment company boasts  it will take only a year and 500 million yuan (around $73 million) to build the futuristic transportation system.

I don't know man. What happens if Will Brink downs two 30 packs in 2 hours with Nassar and Alex23 and decides to take Alex's Hummer out for a spin and swines up crashing the thing into the side of this because he's not only shit faced but has Nassar's manties hanging over his head? I wouldn't risk it.

Haha, it would be a bit freaky driving along and all of a sudden that thing looms over you overtaking your car in the process - but having said that people fear change and it's just another thing to get used to - I can see it catching on though. Looks proper futuristic.

hahaha no way.  have you ever been to China.  No one fucking drives in a straight line.  I swear I had to take me video camera out and shoot one time I went somewhere.  I swear they drive all over the place and it is amazing how they don't crash.  I literally stuck my hand out and was touching the car next to me while we and them were switching lanes back and forth.  They drive like nuts over there.  I thought Tijuana was bad
