The Arts x Bushwick NYC

August 18, 2010

Bushwick (like most of NY circa 1980 something) was no man’s land after dark. Fast forward to 2010 and the neighborhood has become New York’s new Bohemia. The neighborhood is still heavy in the graff scene, and it’s becoming a new mecca of trend spotting.

China’s 3D Express Coach Buses

August 4, 2010

So if you have not heard (and most likely you haven’t), Chinese transit has developed a brilliant idea.  What is that Brilliant idea?  As most citiziens of China enjoy there mass transit system, they (as all citizens of the world who take transit systems) hate to wait or get stuck in delays due to rush hour traffic.  The Solution??  Built a bus that flows over traffic….simple…..yes.

Check out the picture below which demonstrates how this new bus is going to work.  Shocking part of it all is…..ground breaking has already taken place and these buses are expected to be fully operational by the end of this year.  WOW!
