Speed
This news about the world's biggest bus caught my eye today. How in the world something this long could get through the streets of Shanghai is beyond me. It might work if there are bus-only lanes and no turning is required. The manufacturer claims that 300 people can ride the bus but even as large as it is - I cannot see how 300 people could get on the bus unless you stacked them like cordwood. But on second thought - that's what they do in Shanghai.
Then of course there are the pedestrians. The way bus drivers plow through crowds here I dread what could happen when these giant weapons are unleashed on an unsuspecting public. But I do want to see the inevitable movie, Speed: China, starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock trapped on board a runaway monster bus on the streets of China.

Those are similair to the buses in West Coast Peavine. Maybe they are counting the people riding on the front grill into their count of 300.
If they get these on the streets, the Chinese can forget about the one child per family rules. The population will plummet.
