Superbus from Delft University of Technology

Man, if the busses in New York were a bit more like this I'd probably skip the subway a lot more often. This is the "SuperBus," a 30-passenger electric vehicle that can move along at up to 155 mph. It's so fast because it's aerodynamic — so low to the ground that riders can't stand up inside. How do you get passengers in and out of a bus you can't stand up in? Give them all their own door, of course! Yep, 30 doors for 30 riders. If you want to get a ride on the SuperBus, just send it a text message and it'll pick you up along the special speedways designed just for the fancy vehicle. The researchers from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands plan to have a working model ready to go to serve visitors to Beijing during the 2008 Olympics. Meanwhile, hobos everywhere are looking forward to having the most badass place to nap ever

And what the fuck is the point of going 300 kph? Does this bus have immunity to speed limits?

Because if not, this whole idea is as stupid as it seems already.

Ha! Only the crazy drugged dutch could come up with this.

Its all very nice, but to build special speedways and to store heat from the summer to heat the road in winter is just a bit unrealistic.
