Smart Rail: China’s latest creation that is revolutionizing how we move around 

Speed is still an issue. The tracks for rails ensure that the train stays in line whereas in this case, high speeds are quite unsafe.

@@91djdj why high speed?

You don't need high speed for intra city travel

@@josephguo6256 I mean higher speeds. That thing can drive 24 kmh. It can be very useful for connecting a neighbourhood but it's less useful for making lines going through the whole city. The composition of the train and the fact that it runs on unguided tires makes speed very restrictive.

@@sc5252 Yes you need higher speeds for modern intra city travel. That's what metros are for.

No, this system is not innovative, France runs it since 20 years, and this failed, and it will fail in China, too. Because they repeated the same mistakes like France

😂 US & EU “ 🇨🇳 China is thread to us

​@@zainzoala1083US & EU - " China stole it from us " 😂😂😂😂😂

Asia stroong....eropa/usa you lose,😂😂😂

Where? and"Wheel wear"?

Tanya Sama Amerika apakah negaramu boleh mempunyai angkutan dari China ini ? 😂

Yea tells that to the Americans😅

We had it for a century and a half, It's called a tram.

We already had this? Even in the US, what are you talking about?

What a weird take. This is an in-between system that gives you the flexibility in changing routes that BRT has but at a volume of passengers closer to Light rail.

A train doesn’t travel in between stations. A bus can only transport 50 -100 passengers max. For large cities and developing nations these are fantastic. By the way why use a smart phone? You have a tablet for internet and you can just use a regular phone that works in calling and sending messages.

What a stupid take.

This is worst than an LRT but DEFINITELY BETTER than a BRT because its basically BRT, ONLY WITH FAAAR MORE CAPACITY PER RIDE. In public transportation, like the route, CAPACITY IS KING.

Sounds like proof of nothing comment.

except for those wide roads. Looks terrible.

😂 US & EU “ 🇨🇳 China is thread to us

@monipenny408 China is the one building up it's military and threatening their neighbors

@monipenny408 China is the one building up it's military and threatening their neighbors

US they build deathly weapon…

it is precisely the governing system that makes this possible

😂中国是文明古国！每段时间都有世界第一的盛世！从清朝未年到四九年这段时间！是弱到被众多列强国家欺负的时间！1949年之前，中国被洗劫一空！中国人中的中国共产党员带领中国人民用勤劳智慧又步入辉煌！欢迎您来中国旅游！

Well put. After Mao died, there were a few years of power struggles. I think it was Deng Xiaoping who visited his friend, PM Lee Kuan Yew, and told him he was impressed with Singapore and he wanted the same for China. Thus, the journey started in the early 1980s. What is even better is that Singapore and China are now role models for other Asian nations of what is possible. They don't need to look west for guidance. I think that is tremendous.

Agree to a certain extent , trouble ahead for Singapore is how to stand up to the west if china doesn't offer to assist!@@mangobrother

If Singapore is alone, but is it? If it is pushed by the west, it is likely it won't be alone. I would think China would want to have a safe neighborhood given the past, of what the west is capable of. My personal opinion is the U.S. is past its best before date by 30 years. It still thinks it lives in the 1990s. Besides, Singapore is small and critically, it does not have anything like resources the U.S. would want. Indonesia on the other hand is a different story, lots of resources especially nickel vital for many industries. @@jchung5265

It's just a long bus lol this has been around for many years now in Europe and the Middle East

@@netnomad47 Not true. It is a driverless automated transport more similar to a metro with no tracks, albeit slower. No tracks, no underground tunnel, so cheaper and easier to implement. What other countries have is normally called a 'trolley' with rails, but with a driver.

@@MASMIWA I never said it's a trolley. It's a literal accordion style bus. I've seen this style of bus in many places. The only difference is that it was not automated.

@@netnomad47 I said it was like a trolley like in Europe . This thing has sensors that follows those dash lines, it cannot maneuver like a bus. In many European cities, there are modern versions of railed trolleys. It behaves like a trackless driverless trolley. That's why they say it is new. The Chinese, Japanese, and Europeans have experimented with driverless metros and buses. The Chinese in Shenzhen have a driverless bus that doesn't follow lines but is autonomous and can change lanes, turns, brakes, accelerates, etc like a normal bus, but no driver. They also have driverless metros. Shenzhen is pioneering in a lot of electric vehicles. Their entire bus fleet is electric, their taxi fleet is all electric, and I'd say some 30% of the private vehicles are electric. Most of their light duty trucks are electric. Their powered cycles are electric. BYD is headquartered in Shenzhen. Shenzhen (and Hong Kong) gets its electricity from its Daiyu Bay nuclear power generation station on the coast and from the Three Gorges Dam. No coal or gas driven power stations. Shenzhen is known as a leader in new ideas, some call it China's 'silicon valley.'

Monorail is better

Thanks! I am glad you enjoy them!

Meanwhile it's building more coal powered power stations than the rest of the world combined

excatly

China is totally infested with COAL mining and burning. Most of the electicity is produced with COAL. That's how revolutionary it is... As if coal is NOT a fossil fuel ? ..... "Greenest revolution on earth" !?? lol lol lol Copy paste from serious press article >> Get this reading ! (From "Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air" > One can google it, as inserting outgoing links is abolished by youtube since some time) ................... > China’s new coal power spree continues as more provinces jump on the bandwagon Coal power continues to expand in China, despite the government’s pledges and goals. In the first half of 2023, construction was started on 37 gigawatts (GW) of new coal power capacity, 52 GW was permitted, while 41 GW of new projects were announced and 8 GW of previously shelved projects were revived. Of the permitted projects, 10 GW of capacity has already moved to construction. Permitting continued apace in the second quarter and in some provinces, newly permitted power plants are moving rapidly into construction, while in others, developers might be securing permits “just in case” and not hurrying to break ground. Of plants permitted in 2022, about half (52 GW) had started construction by summer 2023. After the permitting spree of the past year, China now has 243 GW of coal-fired capacity currently permitted and under construction. If the permitting rush is not stopped until projects that are currently announced or in pre-permit stages have gained permits as well, there will be a total of 392 GW of new coal-fired power capacity in the pipeline. Unless permitting is stopped immediately, China won’t be able to reduce coal-fired power capacity during the 15th five-year plan without subsequent cancellations of already permitted projects or massive early retirement of existing plants. ............................................ // The only thing China is doing, is switching from the use of OIL, to the use of COAL, on a massive scale, and falsely disguising that as "electric transport revolution". Fake, fake, fake !

Absolutly bro. You are right

王一博😂

unfortunately canadian government only concerntrate on the drug injection sites or bike lanes which you can only use it in summer time.😂

Canada is hopeless

Jangan bermimpi 50 tahun ke depan dari sekarang. 😂😂 maaf 🙏

@@dukehe2203 people use bike lanes in the winter too.

Why not go back to Hong Kong?

❤from China

True...unlike never mind

Some foreigners did

Even inside the U.S., everything is a fight. They can't understand working together at all.

When the government sees it is made in China, they will not buy them. Either they will argue it is made from xinjiang slave labour, or it will compromise national security.

Said the same thing

Not exactly, because with its smart stearing system it also behaves like a tram on rails.

​@@gantenbeinableit still is just a bus.

@@CallMeInfinite0000 IQ arrears，or you hope it's a spaceship?what happened to you?

99% military investments

This one has a very smart steering system so it behaves like a tram on rails.

​@@gantenbeinableso could anyone that drives a bi articulated bus

China just discovered the bendy bus

It's a tram.

@@unyongsobyet7590 A Tram is a transport vehicle that drive one rails in the road and i mean Physical touchable rails not those digital things

Luas us a Tram with track, so different from this.

​@@gerard5705 tram is better then this.

@@robbanto98why do you think it's better? This seems like a way cheaper option

yes bro. There isn't a best way for all countries. China has a variety of transportation because of its massive population.

Legacy media will rot your mind

sure, the rest of the world follows, while China leads

Australian area is so hugh, the underground will be more suitable. Smart rail is more affordable for small countries.

Buses create traffic jams. This dont.

funny tho

with 3x the capacity, that is electric and autonomous

Then it is still a bus. And it is not autonomous. It has a steering wheel 😮

Exactly, this technology is a scam, it has more rolling resistance than real trams and more maintanence.

very very long bus

​@@Western_Declinecalled the tram?

Too big to call it a bus.

Steel wheels on rails don't have enough grip to go steep uphill and they have a very long breaking distance.

How about the cost?Does a track system cheaper than just paint some lines on the road?
