South Korea transport goes green on recharging road
South Korea is trying to reduce the pollution in public transportation so they use electric toothbrushes and razors to power buses and cars. The new transport powers have to run by magnetic connections. There are no direct connections with wires. The University outside of Seoul has four prototype buses that use the technology on campus. Seoul and other cities will plan to use this transport for the next three years and using the system called "online electrical vehicle." The bus use small electrical stations, near bus lanes and roads at intersections so they can charge up at intersection. The Micro charges just need little time to charge.The system allows electric cars and buses to cut down on battery size. The online electrical vehicle system is safe for humans. The cost of installing the system is an estimated 400 million won ($353,500) per kilometer of road and does not include electricity.
I think it is a good idea to do this because they will be less pollution in the environment. I want Thailand to have this kind of transport and it will help decrease the pollution in Thailand too. No matter what, even though it has to take a long time to build this project but it is good for every country.
