Superbus
A 15ft-long, six-wheeled, Aerodynamic and luxurious vehicle, the Superbus can carry 23 passengers and reach speeds of up to 155mph (255kph), although finding a parking space might prove difficult.
The Dutch Superbus project is led by Dutch astronaut professor Wubbo Ockels of the Delft University of Technology and concerns the creation of high speed buses (150 - 250 km/h / 93 - 155 mph) that travel over so called 'Super Lanes' to be constructed separately next to the nation's highways.
The design team from TU Delft University, including former Dutch astronaut Wubbo Ockels, has unveiled the Superbus at the World Exhibition of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) in Dubai.
