China Leading the Future in Transportation?

China to build ginormous buses that cars can drive under (video)

China's envisioning: huge buses engulfing smaller cars on the road. The idea is to make use of the space between regular-size cars and bridges, thus saving construction costs as well as minimizing congestion impact by allowing cars to drive underneath these jumbo buses. Fancy hitching a ride? You better start planning your move to Beijing's Mentougou district, which is where Huashi will commence building its first 186km of track at year's end. 

Despite the below exaggerated mock picture and the eccentric "3D Express Coach" branding, this cunning project byShenzhen Huashi Future Car-Parking Equipment actually makes sense.
