BEIJING, China -- The answer to congestion in cities around the world just might be -- an elevated bus.

Engineers in China have created a scaled-down version of this creation. It's an elevated bus that can zoom right over cars.

Engineers say it can carry 1,200 people at a time -- and costs much less than a subway.

The first elevated bus will be tested in northern China later this year.
