I still don't understand how it can turn without hitting all the cars under it.

- koenigdavidmj 10y agoSeparate signal phase, probably. There's plenty of precedent for streetcars to do that.
- paradite 10y agoYou are right. According to this video, the bus would have higher priority than other cars during signalling: https://www.facebook.com/shanghaiist/videos/10154608549666030/ https://www.facebook.com/shanghaiist/videos/1015460854966603...
- acgourley 10y agoThat's the same video that shows it magically transforming into jelly to make the turn at the 2:00 mark, so I'm not totally sure if I trust it.
- paradite 10y agoWell the video is obviously just an illustration. If you can do it for trains and subways, I don't see why this bus can't make a turn.
- jimparkins 10y agoGoogle "bendy buses" the design they are proposing between segments is exactly the same as this. Nothing magical or gelatonus about it.
