The SuperBus is a Dutch invention developped at the Delft University Technology in the Netherlands that can go as fast as 155 mph while running on electricity.

It will have roughly 30 seats with individual entrance/exit doors and rather than make predetermined stops, it'll pick and drop people off based on their text message requests.

A prototype should be ready just in time for the Beijing Olympics. Watch the promo video here.
