Developers in China have come up with a paradoxical, environmentally-sound solution to speed up traffic: add more buses.

According to Engadget, the Shenzhen Huashi Future Parking Equipment company is developing a 3D Express Coach that will allow smaller cars to drive underneath it.

Dubbed the 'straddling bus,' the light-rail trains will stand 4-4.5 metres high with two levels. Passengers will board the upper level while smaller vehicles lover than 2 metres can drive right through.

Powered by electricity and solar energy, the bus can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h and carry 1200-1400 passengers at a time without standing in other vehicles' way. Each bus will cost $500 million yuan (approximately $73 million).

Construction of the first 115 miles of track will begin in Beijing's Mentougou district at the end of 2010.

To learn more about the project, and to watch the official unveiling by Song Youzhou, the chairman of Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment, visit China Hush.
