The Superbus is a project for a
futuristic public bus that runs
on electricity (either batteries
or fuel cells) & can reach
speeds of 155 mph on dedicated "supertracks".
It's the brainchild of designers
& engineers at Delft University
of Technology in the Netherlands
& has received €9 million in
government funding & additional
€1 million from local bus
company, Connexxion.
The Superbus may look longer than a football field, but it's actually the same length & width as a normal city bus. It looks extra long because it's only 5.6 feet high, or about the height of an average SUV. That means that passengers can't stand up inside the Superbus, but they won't need to since each of its 30-some seats has an individual door.
