About 4.5 years ago, Autoblog Green reported on a “Stretch Batmobile” concept being developed by the Dutch that was intended to one day be used for public transportation. Now, that concept has been realized.
The Superbus is completely electric, seats 23 people and rides in a dedicated lane to get its passengers where they need to go.
