It is the Transit Elevated Bus or TEB, alternative called “Land Airbus” and is is a huge elevated transit vehicle, which runs on massive rails on each side of the motorway.

The bus uses the existing road network as it is elevated and without the need to impede traffic every time it accepts passengers. The TEB initially started life as nothing but a conception – a solution for China’s growing congestion crisis.

With the width over 25 feet and length of 75 feet, the TEB has around 7 feet of ground clearance , which is enough for most vehicles , but possibly not adequate for vans and trucks.

The bus has an all-electric system and carries nearly 300 passengers with 40mph. It creates an impact on car drivers. It might appear like a normal tunnel from under, but you should remember that the tunnel is moving and quite fast.
