Superbus arrives in Mideast for viewing

10 April 2011

The first prototype version of the Superbus would cut the commute time between Abu Dhabi and Dubai to 30 minutes will make its Middle East debut when it goes on show at the UITP Mobility and City Transport Expo today at Dubai National Exhibition and Convention Centre. The vehicle is an electric-powered cross-over between a bus and a limousine and is being presented to UAE Government authorities as the future of public transportation for business commuters and tourists in the UAE, and in other Gulf countries. Carrying 23 passengers at 250 kmh on a dedicated "speed track", the Superbus is 15 meters long and has eight doors on each side. It would run on a dedicated two-lane highway between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and leave the "speed track" in urban areas to drop off passengers at agreed locations.
