China Invents the World’s Largest Bus    [13-01-2012] With the largest population in the world, China is always crowded with people. Buses in the country are often jam-packed with so many people. Sometimes, this leads to dangerous accidents. In fact, a large number of people get hurt or even die due to overly packed buses. In order to solve this problem, a Chinese bus manufacturer came up with a great idea. The bus is called "JNP6250G." It is 25 meters long! A typical bus is 12 meters long. The world’s largest bus can carry up to 300 passengers. The top speed of the bus reaches 82 kilometers per hour. You can get on the world’s largest bus in Beijing and Hangzhou. “I’ve driven the bus from Zhejiang Province to Shanghai. It is flexible when cornering. The ride is quite easy,” said one of the bus drivers. The special bus is also convenient for the elderly, disabled, and children because it is low. It also has wide aisles for wheelchair users. Let’s hope that riding the bus in China will be easier and safer with the world’s largest bus!     출처: 어린이 영자신문 키즈타임즈 (www.kidstimes.net)
