Song Youzahou is a businessman. He and his company designed the Straddling Bus to solve the traffic problems in China and in large cities around the world.

The Straddling Bus looks like a monorail and a very tall truck put together. It is 6 meters (about 20 feet) wide and it stands over 4 meters (13 feet) high. The Straddling Bus rides on rails that straddle (are outside of) the traffic lanes. It is high enough for cars and small trucks to pass underneath it.

These buses can carry more passengers than an ordinary bus. They use a combination of electricity and solar power. And they can travel above the regular road traffic from 40 to 80 kilometers per hour (25 to 50 miles per hour).

According to a company spokesperson, these buses are much less expensive to build than a subway like or a train line. The construction time is also two-thirds faster.

The Straddling Bus is an environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient invention of the twenty-first century. Wouldn't it be fun to ride one?

Q: Song Youzhou’s company

• designed the Straddling Bus.
