巴铁拆除
Transit Elevated Bus demolished
Workers have started demolishing a test site for the futuristic "straddling bus" in Qinhuangdao City, north China's Hebei Province, as the contract is set to expire.
在中国北部城市河北省秦皇岛市,因合同到期,工人已开始拆除颇具未来感的“巴铁”试验线。

But questions about its technical feasibility and application, as well as the Beijing-based developer's financial health, have bogged it down.
但是,巴铁技术的可行性和适用性,及其北京开发商财务状况均存在问题,使这一项目最终陷入停滞。
Tests on the TEB stopped last October and the site had only two people working as keepers, according to local residents. Some residents living nearby complained the test site affected transportation.
据当地居民称,巴铁早在去年10月便已停止试验,场内仅布置两人负责看护工作。一些附近居民曾抱怨该试点影响交通。
