When a video of a mini model  of the so called Transit Elevated Bus (TEB) gliding over cars on the  road hit the internet in late May this year, it caused great excitement.  What was merely a concept has now become reality in just two months.   The  prototype that was deployed on the streets of the north-eastern city of  Qinhuangdao, about 300km east of Beijing, ran along a 300m-long strip  of controlled track. The bus spans the width of two traffic lanes, and  rides along two tracks laid on the edges of the two lanes attaining  speeds up to 60kmph. The overall height of the bus is about 4.8 meters,  while the clearance underneath is about 2 meters, allowing cars to  comfortably pass under it. The Transit Elevated Bus can not only avoid  traffic congestion, but also reduce it since a lot of jams are caused by  regular buses loading and unloading at bus stops. <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jZtBS9txu_I/V6N-PZiiZsI/AAAAAAABPQs/6_zJiSdaXLg/transit-elevated-bus-prototype-62.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> According to Song Youzhou, the project's chief engineer, one Transit  Elevated Bus could replace 40 conventional buses. Moreover, up to four  TEBs can be linked together to create a sort of tramway. A single bus  along with 40km of guideway is estimated to cost about US$ 74.5 million  to build which is one-tenth the cost of building an equivalent subway. The bus itself cost US$4.5 million to build, or about one-sixteenth the  price of a subway train. The TEBs could also be rolled out far more  quickly, compared to an underground train, since the supporting  infrastructure is relatively simple.The idea is not new though.  It was originally proposed in 1969 by two American architects—Craig  Hodgetts and Lester Walker—as a public transport concept called "The  Bos-Wash Landliner" to run between Boston and New York. The Bos-Wash  Landliner was a far more futuristic concept. It runs on nearly friction  free air cushion bearings at 200 miles per hour, never stopping.  Instead, a great claw arm descends from the landliner and picks up buses  from the road underneath. The idea was too fantastic and too unreal to  be actually developed, and it remained merely as an idea. <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ynydesxGLtE/V6N-QnscPTI/AAAAAAABPQw/kuxSrdb2GXU/Bos-Wash-Landliner3.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JtrWGeJXxic/V6N-R6hrw1I/AAAAAAABPQ0/-6z1uBqH5XU/transit-elevated-bus-prototype-12.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dGRwMJYPEqk/V6N-TMCk0YI/AAAAAAABPQ4/Cs19rQ5ohkw/transit-elevated-bus-prototype-22.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kRP3EQkSzEE/V6N-UMzLSfI/AAAAAAABPQ8/xODdrw6y5DE/transit-elevated-bus-prototype-32.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BiNivtFJ9Gg/V6N-VQdQquI/AAAAAAABPRA/lODHSljIdVA/transit-elevated-bus-prototype-42.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-F_jMLdlPK5k/V6N-WvfEu-I/AAAAAAABPRE/qa50kFlvJQE/transit-elevated-bus-prototype-52.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
