Ginormous Chinese Buses

I can see some dumba$$ wrecking under one of these and causing a firey death pile up.

That's effin genius!!

Pretty slick IMO.

As if there arent enough potential hazzards on the road already. Have they not seen the vid of chinese driving that was just posted here?? You couldnt pay me to drive under one of those things.

Ill be anxiously waiting the first de-railed vid on The Tube....

I would hate to see someone set off a car bomb under one!:shock: You would take out 100's of people! Cool idea but there seems like there is a lot of bad things that could happen as well.

I'm in full agreement with you guys, but.........

Those are two vary valid points, the first one for China (unless they start doing a serious driver's ed class with real driving instructors!) and the latter for places like the United States or Israel :shock:

That's just crazy what a mess. :lmao:

I think they should put openings on the sides of them too so cars can go through them the other way...why not just add an intersection under there while you're at it. :ror:

I can see people running into those black & yellow arches while they are below the bus and it becoming one big pile up.

Yeah..... good luck with that.

:roll:

You're just mad you didn't think of it first.:lmao:

The real problem has yet to be addressed with this idea. I can speak on this as I live in China and drive in China.

This wont work as expected. Chinese people cannot drive. I know this for a fact. Expect cars to pass under a bus like this? Forget it. People here miss their exit on the freeway, slam on their brakes in the fast lane, backup, and then expect to cross 4 lanes of traffic stopping everyone, just so they can make their exit. I see this quite frequently. Have you ever seen 3 lanes of traffic all making a right hand turn?

Come visit China. It is EVERYTHING you think it should be in terms of driving conditions.

But, to be fair, I live in Shenzhen...and it sucks here. If you go to Beijing, the people are much more civilized, and can actually drive.

You nay-sayers are no different than the bunch that burned as a witch the first guy who showed up at dinner with a fork.

Sounds like Ohio :ror:

I wonder if it makes "Pac Man" sounds as it goes down the road and overtakes other cars:ror:.

Slick idea but they better make those bastards durable...and put several video cameras under them to capture the ensuing madness.

And they don't get any better when they come here lol.


This seems like a cool idea, but that's all it should stay as, an idea. There has to be much safer ways of doing this.

One Word.........MONORAIL!

High Five!

Who'd they copy it from?

what happens when a car decides to change lanes while under the bus.
I think we in the u.s.a. and other countries with condenced populations,really need to consider the benifits of stacked highways/roadways.

when the epicenter of a city gets condenced we build the building up.
same ground space but much more usable space.
we need to apply the same method of thinking to the future of our roads.
