“Car-Eater Could Stop Traffic Jams”

A giant bus that appears to eat cars is helping in China with traffic jams. It is a giant bus with four stories, called the Transit Elevated Bus (TEB). As many as 1,400 passengers can ride on the upper levels while the bottom is essentially a tunnel that cars will be able to pass under. The passengers then use an elevator to get down when it is their stop. The bus can carry a lot more passengers than most and is able to pass cars. This means that there will be less cars on the road and they won’t have to be stuck behind the TEB. TEB can also help the environment, because it is powered by electricity. There are plans to test out the bus in August and hopes that it will go well.

I found this article very interesting and the idea incredible. We all hate being stuck in a traffic jam and this could be a cool new way to end this problem, while still being environmentally friendly. I don’t think I’m the only one who wants TEB to be a success.
