It is 40 meters long and 6 meters wide. This must be the biggest bus you have

It is China's new Super Bus. It is going for a test run in Beijing at the end
of this year. Some other cities are also interested in running the Super Bus. They
hope it can solve traffic problems.
The Super Bus runs along fixed tracks (固定轨道) . The bus sits on top of two
2.2-meter-tall legs. The legs have wheels at one end. Small cars can drive under
the bus, so the Super Bus does not take up road space.
The bus runs on electricity and solar power. It can travel up to 60 km every hour.

The Super Bus can do the work of 40 buses. In that way, it can save 860 tons of
