World’s fastest bus in Dubai travels 250kph

ADVERTISEMENTS



Dubai Superbus thumbnail OK, it isn’t exactly a bus, but it is 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. The first road tests were successful in Holland last year. Several other similar routes are under evaluation as we write this.
