I don't see how that would work at all if the route the "bus" takes has any turns or curves in it. I guess maybe for straight routes, it might be cheaper to build than a proper el/monorail?

 

^Cheap being the key word j/k.

 

I didn't like the idea until I saw that it's on a track. It's really more of a train than a bus. I think it's cool.

 

If the bus is on somekind of slot track (the driver can't veer anywhere outside the specified track) I think it's cool. However, if the "bus" is free moving, not a chance.

 

seems too complicated

 

What if I need to get off at an exit and I'm stuck under some fcking giant bus?

 

seriously. SO potentially dangerous. On a Different note, This hasn't been the only big stupid cheap quality thing china has built. Anyone ever heard of the 3 gorges hydroelectric dam, or the Olympic Stadium? Poor QC, unresearched future outcomes... I'm all for the Chinese, but their love for building large, terrible things is definitely not in best interest of the people.

But whatever, it's a pretty cool idea.

 

that made me lol..

 

imagine an accident that happens under the bus and knocks it off track. that'd be a sight to see.

 

in for pics three days after it opens...
