saw it from yahoo homepage. pwede kaya ang technology na ito sa atin?with the attitude of filipino drivers, i think this bus will not survive here.

nice idea, parang street car without the tracks

OK yan!

Pero hindi pwede yan dito sa atin . . . gagawin lang illegal terminal o tambayan ang mga yan pag nakaparada.

[_Qwerty_]

delikado yan dito.. madadalas ang accidents pag ganyan.. sobrang sikip sa ilalim..

What's the clearance under and the height above?

I just saw the video and it was really an innovation.

The model looks like a subway or light-rail train bestriding the road. It is 4-4.5 m high with two levels: passengers board on the upper level while other vehicles lower than 2 m can go through under. Powered by electricity and solar energy, the bus can speed up to 60 km/h carrying 1200-1400 passengers at a time without blocking other vehicles' way. Also it costs about 500 million yuan to build the bus and a 40-km-long path for it, only 10% of building equivalent subway. It is said that the bus can reduce traffic jams by 20-30%.

Possible to sa kanila kasi, yun mga main roads nila tig 4 lanes lalo na yung mga bagong highway malalaki pa ang mga lanes nila. imagine mo sa edsa ganun siguro daily di mo mabilang ang bangaan . hahahha.

Great idea! Problem is the height clearance, daming linya at pedestrian crossings sa daan...

[flakez]

ok ah. kaso tulad ng sabi nila malabo dito sa atin yan. bottleneck yan malamang pag naka park, alam naman natin dito yung 2 lanes nagiging 3. hehe

Why does the scene of the SF Tram running over and crushing the Ferrari in "The Rock" keep coming into my mind.

[speed unlimited]

Magandang solution pero magiging kalaban ng mga bus operator sa kita . Kokonti na lang magiging kolorum bus pag dito sa atin nilagay ito.

These buses are more like trams in principle as far as I see them. Good luck negotiating a turn in one of those.

"Straight is best" has never sounded more appopriate.
