New Dubai 23-Seater Superbus Travels At 250km/h

New Dubai 23-Seater Superbus Travels At 250km/h
A brand-new, fully electric superbus has been purchased to make traveling between Dubai and Abu-Dhabi more enjoyable. It is designed to be capable of driving 250 km/h whilst carrying 23 passengers! I believe the term “amazeballs” is appropriate here.
The Superbus concept is the work of an astronaut and a former Formula One aerodynamics expert. It was developed at the Delft University of Technology in Holland under the direction of Professor Wubbo Ockels, who in 1985 became the first Dutch citizen in space when he blasted off on board the space shuttle Challenger.
The midnight-blue bus travels at a top speed of 250 km/h, is 15 metres long, 2,5 metres wide and 1,65 metres high and has eight gullwing-style doors on each side.
It is made of lightweight materials including aluminium, carbon fibre, fibreglass and polycarbonate, and weighs just 9 500kg fully loaded. The vehicle would carry passengers in levels of comfort that the team says would be comparable to traveling in a luxury sedan.

Bangalore Metro gets poor reviews from senior citizens
Bangalore:
The Metro has been literally engineered to be
'inhospitable' and 'unfriendly' to its commuters, alleged senior
citizens' forums, underlining that the upcoming mass transit system has
neither built-in any seating arrangements nor any medical facility on
the station premises.
According to the complaint filed by the forums, Metro stations have absolutely no seating space and there are not medical facilities available either. At first glance, the Reach I Metro stations connecting MG Road to Byppanahalli, sure lives up to international standards. But a closer look would reveal the darker side of the sparkling stations.
According to sources, the major flaw at Metro stations is that very few commuters friendly facilities are available there. The soon to be inaugurated Reach I of the Metro has six stations on its 6.7-km stretch between MG Road and Byappanahalli. And each station can accommodate more than 40,000 passengers.
Unapologetic of its 'inhospitable behavior', the BMRCL has now announced that people unnecessarily waiting at the stations will be fined.

Ski Jump Record
Audi Breaks Ski Jump Record Again For New TV Advert
Published 12 March 2005
Melanie Carter
A spectacular 1980s television commercial showing a gravity-defying
Audi quattro saloon climbing 47 metres of treacherously steep,
snow-covered ski jump has just been remade using a new A6 saloon to mark
the 25th Anniversary of quattro.
Fourteen years after rally ace Harald Demuth drove up Finland’s
Pitkävuori ski jump in a red Audi 100 CS quattro, setting a new record
in the process, Audi engineer Uwe Bleck has just followed suit in the
335PS V8-powered A6 4.2 quattro. Like its predecessor, the A6
highlighted the exceptional traction advantages of the quattro system by
reaching a height of 47 metres on a gradient of around 80 per cent or
37.5 degrees, and parking on the slope.
For complete authenticity in the 2005 advertisement, the original
timber-framed Pitkävuori ski jump, 300 miles north of Helsinki, was used
again, despite the fact that it was closed in 1994 and needed extensive
repairs before filming could commence.
In first gear, at 4,200rpm and travelling at about 37mph, the A6
stormed up the 80 per cent gradient with incredible ease, arriving at
the 47-metre-high starting gate normally reserved for skiers only nine
seconds after take-off. Uwe Bleck repeated this process a total of
eleven times for the advertisement, and said later: “I could have gone faster, even at the steepest point.”
