Coming in at a top speed of 155 mph, the 50 ft. long Superbus is Wubbo Ockels' new spin on public transportation, aiming to meet the speed and comfort of a train while feeling like a car. The Superbus is powered by electricity, has rear-wheel steering, and hydraulic cylinders off-ground height range from 7 to 43 cm. Ockels hopes to have this up and running in the next 5 years. Is this realistic? I don't think public transportation is supposed to be luxurious; it is to get a person from point A to point B in the fastest and cheapest manner. Richard Branson endorses it, though. Hey, that's all that matters right?!
