The Long Bus
A Chinese bus manufacturer just introduced this 25 meter long “Superliner” at a convention called “Busworld Asia 2007″. This 300 passenger beauty will be operating in Beijing and Hangzhou. And in true Chinese fashion, they’re claiming that it’s the world’s longest bus.
But comments further down the page show that these buses are probably manufactured in Germany and shipped to China in a kit. They’re also common in France, Holland, Colombia, England, Germany, Brazil, and even Kazahkstan … and Australia reportedly has buses (called “road trains”) that are up to 53 meters long!
So much for those bold claims of world supremacy …

Yes. We have them in some cities in the UK. They are a pain to drive next to on the roads.

I’m curious– if this bus was in the states, would it ever really have 300 people on it?

So true. I’m curious how many people will they actually allow on it here in China … I’m guessing it’ll be closer to 400.

After many precarious rides last week in Amsterdam on a similar bus that had only 2 cars, I can’t imagine how unsafe this would feel to me.

That bus is huge!
In the Usa, though, no one would use a bus at all
