Germany. An ordinary (普通的) bus is only about l0-meter long and it can carry only 80 people once. But the longest bus can carry 256 people. So we will need less buses in the future. The longest bus can save energy, too. That's to say, it will take less energy than an ordinary bus. Moreover, the driver can drive the longest bus as easily as an ordinary one.

However, firstly, it has to spend $10,000,000 to buy the longest bus. Someone jokes that we can buy a lot of ordinary buses with that money. Secondly, people think that it is hard for the longest bus to travel on the bustling streets. It may cause new traffic (交通) problems. Thirdly, it is easy for someone to get onto the bus without buying a ticket.
