The 3D Express Coach is a proposed bus system from Shenzhen Huashi Future Car-Parking Equipment Company that would carry up to 1,400 passengers at speeds of up to 37 mph on an elevated track above roads. The bus contains radar scanners to warn of nearby vehicles and inflatable escape ladders. It is estimated to cost around 500 million yuan or $75 million to build and would reduce traffic and the need for parking by transporting many people quickly above traffic. Potential issues that require further testing and development include how the bus would navigate turns and the time needed to construct the system.
