China is trying to find a way to increase urban transportation without slowing down traffic. One proposal is an elevated bus that allows cars to pass beneath it:
Basically, it's a huge bus that operates like a train on wheels, and is so tall that cars can drive right under it. Each bus is about two street lanes wide and 18 feet tall, according to Song Youzhou, the chairman of Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment Company, which is building these enormous buses.

China is like a little kid with power tools. Doesn't really understand how they work, or what the safety factors are, but hey, they sound cool, so lets play.
The only way I could see this would work is if the bus is meant to move large numbers of people with very few stops. The idea would be that the bus takes a long time to load, so it could let traffic continue to flow while it takes its time loading passengers. While it is stopped it would be not different then an over pass or tunnel to the cars.
Then when it is ready to move it would have to prevent cars from traveling under it. If they plan on moving the bus while cars are still under it, then they obvioulsy have some kind of magic the rest of the world is not aware of.
