China Actually Builds That Transit Elevated Bus Concept!
My main concern is what happens when there is a traffic accident within the bus. As mentioned below, driving under this thing will likely be extremely disorienting. If multiple drivers are under the bus and collide, then...what the hell happens??
it looks like it will pivot much the same way as a train car, with pivoting front a rear wheel sets.
the lanes will have to get narrower on turns to account for the offsets.
A few cities have their metro lines suspended above the roads, thus not actually interfering with the roads, seems to make more sense.
I think I said it then, but I'll say it again: it's going to be disorienting as hell to be driving underneath it, keeping pace with it, without making the sides of the bus highly transparent. It is going to look like the car isn't moving from the car driver's perspective.
I'm glad you addressed the turning issue that was discussed--I'm honestly surprised they've continued with an honest-to-God prototype without publicly addressing this. It'll be interesting to see how this project progresses, as it's a fairly ingenious design.
