Amfibus: buses that can run on water and land
Actually this vehicle is like another bus, but more special than common bus because it can drive in the land and on the water.
England recently test an amphibians bus (Amphibious bus or amfibus) that can run on water or land. Buses with the framework of the Volvo brand was able to walk on water by using 2 machines that can be driven up to 8 knots, and while on the ground, can be operated as usual and can reach speeds of up to 100 km / hour.
The Amfibus seats up to 50 passengers and drives as a normal road vehicle as well as navigating waterways identical to a small vessel. In theory, the Amfibus is a one-stop-shop for seamless travel, removing the need for passengers to change modes at interchanges.This amphibious bus will be used to accelerate the time where most people have moved to the ferry and then continue again by bus and now it is not necessary.
