The Dhaka Times Desk Not only on the road, now the passenger bus is running in the river! Runs on water and on the road. Sometimes the bus moves forward on the road through the traffic jam and sometimes crosses the river stream breaking the waves.

boarding passenger It is not an accident. This bus is named 'Amphibian Bus.' This bus is running in the European country of Germany with equal comfort on the road or river.

The bus fell into the water very easily. Then it went fast like a launch. A bus suitable for big cities to avoid traffic jams. This bus is a good vehicle for river or riverside towns.

This innovative bus has been launched in the city of Hamburg, Germany. This city is located on the banks of the river Elbe. Currently, one of the attractions of the city is this river bus. The bus was first conceived by a man named Fred Franken. Four years ago, he was the first to invent such a method of running a bus.

Fred, a maritime worker, said he first noticed such a thing in Singapore. From that idea, this Riverbus was created with the help of a Hungarian company.

In the first two months, 6,500 passengers boarded this bus. The bus is a huge hit among tourists and locals. He also said, like this city of Hamburg, 7 other riverside cities have also requested to start this riverbus. However, another official associated with this project said that the maintenance cost of this bus is very high.

Buses require life jackets, joysticks, radio equipment and many more near the driver's seat for the safety of passengers. The engine of the bus has six cylinders of 280 horse power. The technology of this bus is very similar to the technology of the ship.

However, the seats of this bus are made like other normal buses. Passengers can explore the city first when the journey starts. Then pause for a while. Passengers are told that you can take pictures if you want to get off the bus.

The reason for this break is to check whether the bus is suitable for floating in the river. Then the bus will move in the river, much like a steamboat floating. In total, you can stay in this bus for about one and a half hours.

The speed of the bus is not low at all. It runs at a speed of 65 kilometers per hour. The fare of this 36-seat bus for passengers is Tk 2,400 for adults and around Tk 1,700 for children aged 5 to 14 years. So why delay, you can also ride that bus when you go to Germany.
