Getting stuck in a traffic jam can be one of the most frustrating parts of travelling around a busy city.
Now engineers in China, the world's most populated country, have come up with a way to overcome the problem of getting around in traffic.
Designs for a new elevated bus has been unveiled at a tech expo in China, which will apparently be able to carry 1,200 passengers over the top of cars and let traffic to pass underneath it.

The idea is that passengers sit far above other vehicles on the road, allowing cars to pass underneath.
In a model of the vehicle, it appears to run on a set of fixed rails embedded on the road.

It means the vehicle is more like a cross between a tram and a bus.
Engineers hope the design will increase the availability of the road space, and cause fewer traffic jams than regular buses.
It is also expected to save costs compared to other public transport options, like the subway.
'With a carrying capacity of 1,200 people at a time, the TEB has the same functions as the subway while its cost of construction is less than one fifth that of the subway,' said Bai Zhiming, engineer in charge of the TEB project said in a YouTube video showing an interview with CCTV News.
'Its construction can be finished in one year,' he added.
The first tests of the bus are scheduled to start trail operation in Qinhuangdao City, in north China's Hebei Province, in the second half of this year.
This means the buses could be in place by the end of the year.

Lovely innovations. Game on!
If this invention comes to stay,
Nigeria can embrace it . Too much
traffic even on our high ways.

The beauty is that sooner or later
many people will reduce the use of their
cars to work.

Meanwhile,

Ogbonnaya Onu, the minister of science and technology, says Nigeria will start producing its own pencils in another two years, as part of a wholesale production-sector revamp to be witnessed in the regime of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Yes, I have heard questions on why pencils. We chose pencils to symbolize the problems that we have and our commitment to local production,” he said.
“To produce pencils, we need wood, graphite, rubber for the eraser and possibly, we will need aluminium to hold the rubber in place. Then, we may need paint to give it colour. But even if we don’t add paint or rubber, already we have a pencil and it will write."..

Bla Bla Bla....

This might not work in Lagos with those impatient danfo buses that won't stay on the lane but rather look for ways to manoeuvre and escape traffic.

Don't you think it is a start?

Are we producing pencils at the moment?

How do you make the wheelbarrow without knowing what a wheel is?

Has anyone prevented you from inventing?

What has stifled your creativity?

Nigerians love criticism.

Ask them what they have done and they'll be blaming the government.
