Electrics: 155 mph Superbus

Looks like a not so classic limousine but carries about 30 passenger a green way.

Researchers at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands are developing a "superbus" that goes 155 MILES PER HOUR and runs on electricity. The aerodynamic bus is low -- too low for passengers inside to stand up -- so every passenger has his own door. The 30-seat bus is the same length and width of a standard city bus, but it's only as high as an SUV. To catch the bus, passengers text-message the dispatcher, and are picked up anywhere they want along special speedways constructed for the bus system. The researchers plan to build a fully functional prototype for the Beijing Olympics in two years.
