Engineers in China finally took their innovative elevated bus for a test spin in Hebei province this week.

As the photos below show, the bus is designed to straddle roadways, allowing smaller vehicles to pass underneath.

The electric-powered Transit Elevated Bus , or TEB, can hold up to 300 passengers, the BBC reports. It is 72 feet long and 25 feet wide.

While this was merely a test run, the concept has already sparked interest in Brazil, France, India and Indonesia, Chinas Xinhua News reported.
