My first thought is doesn't this assume that everyone will respectfully drive under the bus and not hit the thing. It seems to be extremely vulnerable to a veering car.
Maybe there are more polite drivers in China.
China Hush: “Straddling” bus–a cheaper, greener and faster alternative to commute
Straddling bus is completely powered by municipal electricity and solar energy system. In terms of electricity, the setting is called relay direct current electrification. The bus itself is electrical conductor, two rails built on top to allow the charging post to run along with the bus, the next charging post will be on the rails before the earlier one leaves, that is why we call it relay charging. It is new invention, not available yet in other places.
The set here is super capacitor, a device that can charge, discharge and store electricity quickly. The power it stores during the stop can support the bus till the next stop where another round of charging takes place, achieving zero toxic gas throughout the process.
