This week China’s new bus took it’s first test run.

The bus has been referred to since pictures surfaced a few years ago as the “straddling bus” for it’s position above two lanes of traffic.

The bus is more technically referred to as the TEB-1 — Transit Elevated Bus.

It was test driven in Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, Tuesday.

The interior space of the bus is 72 feet by 25 feet, and has a 16-foot tall ceiling. It can carry 300 passengers.

Underneath the vehicle is an open space 7 feet tall.

The test run was successful, but questions about feasibility remain.
