China's elevated bus... but it runs on rails

China's elevated bus: Futuristic 'straddling bus' hits the road
The vehicle is expected to reach speeds of up to 60km per hour, running on rails laid along ordinary roads. Up to four TEBs can be linked together...
So is it a bus or is it a train/tram?

Yes, I drive a Land Rover and a Toyota Land Cruiser and neither of them will fit under a 2 m space!

China's 'straddling bus' hits its final roadblock
China's "straddling bus" was riddled by doubts early on and now is headed for the scrap yard.
