It isn’t exactly a bus, but it is a public transport ready for the future. Commuters between Dubai and UAE will soon be able to experience 250kph sitting inside one of these.
The “Superbus” can transport 23 passengers in comfort while clocking a mind-numbing 200+kph on its dedicated track.
Designed by a team from TU Delft University of Technology in Holland, the Superbus works on electricity. Public transport usually suffers from either plenty or lack of congestion, pollution and safety.
The Superbus has addressed all three issues, it is claimed. What’s more it is aerodynamic and looks more interesting than a bus or a train. It will go well with the landscape of a modern city.
It’s 15m long (about a bus’ length) but with the height of a typical SUV with eight doors on each side. Powered by lithium iron phosphate batteries, the Superbus, makes use of rear wheel steering.
It has at a total 8 doors and can accommodate 23 passengers at a drive. The first road tests were successful in Holland last year.
At present, it is proposed to service in the Abu Dhabi - Dubai two line and will cover in 30 minutes.Several other similar routes are under evaluation.
