Imagine a car bomb going off underneath it

looks cool but cant they just build a skytrain? its the same concept anyway
plus what happens if it has to like.. turn left at an intersection?
they should just wait till they can make starcraft shuttles or something then build on that

nice... its costly... damn.. it wont happen here in canada, thats for sure..

i can see a few problems with this..

first, in the video, it shows theres a sliding door for people to do up/down, can you say Decapitation?
second, this is just asking for accidents, especially with the height barrier. i can see people just hitting those.

for sure. and the medivacs would even heal china's ailing population.

i think Korea has the rights to this

I think it would be amazing if China could pull of this kind of bus.

Canada also has 1/40th the population of China. This wouldn't make sense here.

Looks like a neat idea but I can imagine a couple of problems that would make this tough to implement into a city core.

The good thing about China is that when they need to build a highway or something like this, they'll just go right in and pay out all those people that are in the way. They won't waste time with things like the Cambie street merchants.

this thing has got to be pretty tall to be able to fit over freights and semi's

Took forever???

The project came in AHEAD of schedule.

How long do you think 17km of tunneled and raised track, including a bridge SHOULD take to build?

Please, share your massive experience of construction project management with us.

you obviously have no idea whats going on in the world. constructions get done in Japan, China or any far eastern countries at least double the speed of canada, and their projects are much more grand than ours...

if you have been to these countries, our puny "canada line" almost look pathetic comparing to their skytrain systems.

That's smart!

:thumbsup:

Seems like a neat idea. I could see how a careless driver could be making a lane change ahead of the "bus" and get creamed by a moving tunnel.
(however unlikely that may be)
Maybe he explained all the safety precautions in the video but i don't understand a word.

lol @ the out of scale jeep being copy-paste-inverted straight from an ad. Ghetto.

wouldn't they have to alter a lot of existing infrastructure such as power-lines, telephone poles, street lights, trees, etc? it would make more sense in some sort of new development.

then again i guess in China labor is cheap and plentiful enough to take care of the aforementioned overnight.
