The Straddling bus

Another great future transport idea coming out of China - The Straddling Bus...





Basically, cars travel and pass underneath, passengers travel in the top. It's neat. A similar though to the train that never stops

Watch a demo video and read how it works here

Artikcar

The fairly awesome Ben Wilson has done this for Walk The Plank's Art Car Parade up in Manchester. I'll let him explain...



"Walk the Plank’s illuminated Art Car Parades - full of mechanical mischief - will take over Manchester’s streets This Thursday 26th and in Edinburgh this Saturday the 28th November.

Ben Wilson was one of three artists to be awarded commissioning money to create a mobile work of art, which will join the existing troupe of vehicles.

ARTIKCAR is inspired by a child’s wooden toy car. The Pedal Powered vehicle is made from steel tubing, it steers by leaning and uses an innovative technology to illuminate the car"

Solar Roadways

I really hope this happens... roads harnessing solar energy. Great idea. Asphalt is made from petroleum anyway so this is double whammy problem solving.

Here's a picture of what it might look like...

Here is Ben on the right...
