China have launched an elevated bus to combat their traffic problem

China’s top engineers have unveiled a futuristic-looking solution to the country’s traffic problems at the 19th China Beijing International High-Tech Expo.

The electric-powered Transit Elevated Bus runs on rails and is designed to operate high above the ground - so that traffic can drive underneath it, like through a tunnel.

In practical terms, it means that, in one of the most gridlocked countries in the world, the bus can avoid traffic jams simply by passing over them.
