You’ve probably known the crazy traffic in Beijing.
Sometimes the cars could hardly move for a long time. The terrible traffic is
caused by the poor road and China’s ability to cope with (對付) so many cars on the road at the same time.
With more Chinese people buying cars every day, the
problem seems to only get worse. But a design company called Shenzhen Hashi
Future Parking Equipment has a possible solution: the super bus.
The super bus would carry up to 1,400 people in its
passenger compartment (隔間). It would travel on a rail system that
would be elevated (升高的) above the roads, so cars could drive
under it. The bus will run on electricity and solar power, creating far less
pollution than that from the cars it would be replacing (代替).
Beijing authorities haven’t decided whether to create
railways for the super bus throughout the city. But they are willing to give it
a test drive. Later 2010, the company will test for the first time and in 2011
and 2012, the company will test the super bus with passengers.
According to the government, Beijing is probably to
have five million cars on the road by the end of 2010. So it seems to be necessary
to start taking the bus instead soon.
