Radical elevated bus that drives over the TOP of other cars takes its first test drive.<br />
The test in Qinhuangdao City, evaluated the braking system, drag and 
power consumption, according to tebtech, a company that helped build the
 TEB. <span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><i>dailymail</i></span><br />

The future of transport? From Transit Elevated Bus to flying cars

China has unveiled an impressive futuristic ‘uber-bus’ that can 
carry 1,200 passengers, travels above other vehicles, and aims to end 
the nation’s notorious traffic jams.

</div>
The Transit Elevated Bus 
(TEB) is essentially a metro system that hovers above cars and was 
designed to maximize the use of road space.<br />
The revolutionary mode of transport was revealed to the public at the <a href="http://english.chitec.cn/">China Beijing International High-Tech Expo</a> over the weekend.<br />
<br />

</div>
Designers
 in China claim the innovative transport system should be both 
cost-effective and environmentally friendly. The elevated high-speed bus
 is powered by electricity, which is <a href="http://english.cntv.cn/program/bizasia/20100826/100970.shtml">supplemented by solar energy</a> generated by the roof panels.<br />
<br />
<em>“With
 a carrying capacity of 1,200 people at a time, the TEB has the same 
functions as the subway while its cost of construction is less than one 
fifth of the subway,”</em> senior project engineer Bai Zhiming told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APybYjcm_j4">CCTV News.</a><br />

<a href="http://www.hsfuture.com/">Shenzhen Huashi Future Parking Equipment</a>,
 the company behind the TEB, say construction can be completed in a 
year. Trial operations are due to start in Qinhuangdao City, in north 
China's Hebei Province, in the second half of 2016.<br />

China’s
 TEB is just one of a number cutting edge developments set to transform 
the future of the transport industry and which leave Doc Brown’s 
time-travelling DeLorean looking somewhat mundane.<br />

<br />
AeroMobil and Terrafugia are among the companies vying for take-off with their flying cars in 2017.<br />
