World’s fastest bus in Dubai travels 250kph




Dubai Superbus thumbnailOK, it isn’t exactly a bus, but it is public transport ready for the future. Commuters between Dubai and UAE will soon be able to experience 250kph sitting inside one of these. The “Superbus” can transport 23 passengers in comfort while clocking a mind-numbing 200+kph on its dedicated track.


Designed by a team from TU Delft University of Technology in Holland, the Superbus works on electricity. Public transport usually suffers from either plenty or lack of congestion, pollution and safety. The Superbus has addressed all three issues, it is claimed. What’s more it is aerodynamic and looks more interesting than a bus or a train. It will go well with the landscape of a modern city.


It’s 15m long (about a bus’ length) but with the height of a typical SUV with eight doors on each side. Powered by lithium iron phosphate batteries, the Superbus, makes use of rear wheel steering. The first road tests were successful in Holland last year. Several other similar routes are under evaluation as we write this.

In 1954, Miller beer toured with this bus, cool.

The High Life Cruiser:

The original Miller High Life Cruiser, designed in the early 1950s by renowned industrial designer Brooks Stevens, became an instant fan favorite, and was one of the first mobile marketing campaigns of the modern era. Ahead of its time, the vehicle hydraulically lifted and showcased a 10 ft. high replica of the Miller High Life bottle on its roof when parked. Throughout 1954 and several years beyond, the High Life Cruiser visited folks across the U.S., sharing stories of the High Life brand?s first half-century.

The new High Life Cruiser is 35 feet long and showcases hundreds of pieces of High Life memorabilia from the last century, including a retro style High-Life bar.
