Cool video. I like the interior design, look very futuristic. There are improvement in Chinese designer quality.

But there are some flaws in the design concept.

1. They should make the pillar smaller like a pole, rather than a full wall, to make it less intimidating to private car driver below.

2. They should use stair to load and unload passenger rather than the slow elevator. Elevator look great at the video, but not efficient in practical.

3. When there are emergency situation broke out. I'm agree with the open-able windows. But the emergency stair below the bus should be replaced with Firefighter Station pole, where passenger can sliding down faster like firefighter in the emergency situation.


Seeing the video, the bus has another problem with turning left-right. The presentation in the video above of turning left-right (2.17) is not realistic. Replacing the walled pillar to pole type pillar solve the problem I think.

Cities in Hebei Province rolling out electric buses

Electric powered buses are replacing traditional ones in cities of Hebei Province.

Over 6000 electric powered buses are being procured in Shijiazhuang, Baoding and Cangzhou. The target is to replace all the traditional buses.
That's nice but seriously just build a traditional trolleybus system and get it over with.
