The Bus That Rides Above Traffic

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that's-not-gonna-work dept.

An anonymous reader writes "China is the new tech king. They're developing a new, two-lane bus system that travels over traffic below. It's claimed to cost 10% of a subway system and use 30% less energy than current bus technologies." This one has been boggling my brain. I can't see how this is a good idea or safe. But it sure is awesome.

    That's my favorite quote from one of the funniest, stupidest movies ever.

    And I get modded down because someone disagrees with my *opinion* about DC's Metro. I really wish Slashdot would fix its moderation system, because moderation is not meant to be used to say "I disagree". That's what posting is for.

    Who said they disagree with you? Could be that your comment was seen as over rated as it was seen as pointless to the conversation.

    Can someone please write a Chrome plug-in that automatically hides any post containing the word "gives a whole new meaning?" Have these jokes ever been funny? (Who the hell is modding them up?)
