sounds like a good idea but will need to be a bit higher for semi's and other large vehicles

Trains don't bend like Rubber. It would be straight edges, if cars are under that train during a turn it would be crazy dangerous!

big trouble＾＾

I guess they want to scare drivers off the road... Imagine that thing all of a sudden being over you on a bend ... Would be so daunting !

Okay, folks! I think it's about time we start producing flying cars. There's no more space on land roads...

Would scare me enough to start taking the bus

Remind me of snake game -----< - - -

when did this happened?

IT'S COMING TO EAT ME! AHHHH!!!

The concept is marvelous. I question the adaptability of drivers. How can a driver tune the radio, comb their hair, talk on the phone, eat a sandwich, AND look out for a bus. Hmmmm?

I love this idea. I have a few questions. What happens when cars change lanes or swerve over their line. Does it become dark, like a tunnel when the train passes over cars?

Cool, great source of alternative energy

Because dedicated bus lanes are far too cheap, we came up with a solution that basically does the same and costs us billions and billions extra, in terms of vehicle and infrastructure.

Is China really doing this?

Wouldn't work in Jakarta. We have some bus-only lane but all other vehicles often use them.

No. No. Nonononono. Absolutely not. If so I'm never getting in a car again. No.

Seems pretty similar to me as a trolley/streetcar line that also rides the road with traffic-- there are special streetcar-only signals in some places to cross traffic/merge, the streetcar can stop pretty quickly to avoid collisions (not sure how this would work with this massive bus but it would have to have some kind of braking capabilities). It's still driven by a person so with some regulations and thought I think it could definitely work. As for trucks/large vehicles, who knows, maybe that's not as big of a problem in the city in Beijing? I live in a city myself and the trucks take an outer route around the city except when making deliveries, they don't overlap the main bus or car routes much at all. It seems like these people have put a lot of thought into it and I'm sure Beijing city planners will have even more ideas and solutions if they see potential in it.

What a Novel idea. I think China needs this for sure... The pollution in that country is so thick they have to wear masks over their nose and mouth.

I think its hard ro realize but this idea looks great, How it will merge on the road?

hmmmaybe when we're not allowed behind the wheel anymore because there is none ;) but then traffic jams might be solved so..
