To improve traffic congestion, Beijing is developing a bus that could hold up to 1,400 people. This bus would straddle two traffic lanes and run on rails, but would allow for small and medium-sized vehicles to pass underneath. Tests are expected to start in a few months on a four-mile stretch of highway, upon which it would be decided whether to make the bus more ubiquitous. If it works, the Super bus could reduce congestion by 30 percent.
