PHNOM PENH, Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- Well-equipped with high-tech and air-cons, Chinese Yutong's 'smart' buses have brought a safe and comfortable riding choice to passengers in Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia.

Donated by the Chinese government in July 2017 Cheap Scott Hartnell Hat , 98 buses have been used to serve passengers on five out of the eight main lines in the city, and have attracted hundreds of thousands of passengers each month.

DESIGNED BASED ON LOCAL CONDITIONS, EQUIPPED WITH SMART CONTROL SYSTEM

Yutong's sales manager for Asia & Pacific Division Jiang Lin said the buses, designed based on the actual conditions of Phnom Penh, had been equipped with intelligent management system and air-cons, and they were capable of carrying 80 passengers each, including 35 seating and 45 standing.

"Phnom Penh experiences both wet and dry seasons with a hot climate Cheap Sergei Bobrovsky Hat , so the buses were manufactured according to these local conditions like wet and high temperature," he told Xinhua.

Jiang said the buses were helpful for Phnom Penh to build a complete public transport system, to alleviate traffic congestion and provide the public with comfortable riding experience.

"The buses have won the praise from the Phnom Penh government and the public because of high quality, comfort and excellent-after-sale service," he said.

Through Yutong intelligent city bus system, the Phnom Penh City Bus Authority (CBA) could monitor the real-time condition of the 98 buses via a computer or a smart phone, he said Cheap Artemi Panarin Hat , adding that the intelligent system has more than 20 functions, such as analysis report on energy saving potential, oil monitoring, multi-dimension statistics of faults, supplement record statistics, monthly maintenance schedule of vehicles, and overview of energy consumption.

"This intelligent system will help Phnom Penh to build a modern city bus transport system Cheap Seth Jones Hat ," he said, adding that Yutong will provide more engineers and technical support to the CBA so that it can build the "smart" bus control center in 2018.

"Undoubtedly, the China-made buses will be more and more popular among Cambodian people and help Phnom Penh transport system develop rapidly," he said.

The Sao Paulo city council voted 43-3 on Wednesday to prohibit the use of smartphone-based ride-sharing-applications like Uber in Brazil's largest city.

During the entire day, thousands of taxi drivers blocked several of the city's streets and avenues to protest against Uber and pressure councilmen to vote in favor of the law that bans the service in this city of 12 million.

The council has 10 days to send the approved law to City Hall. Mayor Fernando Haddad will then have two weeks to approve or veto the bill.

In its first vote on June 30, the council voted 48-1 to prohibit the use of ride-sharing services such as Uber.

Rio de Janeiro's city council has banned Uber, but Mayor Eduardo Paes must still ratify it.

Uber has been banned in Brasilia and Belo Horizonte Cheap Josh Anderson Hoodie , the only other two cities where the service is present.

If the measure goes into effect, Sao Paulo Uber drivers who ignore the ban can be fined 1,700 reals ($447) and have their cars confiscated.

The service has drawn increasing use since last year's World Cup of soccer, with many of its cars cleaner and newer than those of regular cabs.

Cab drivers complain Uber is unfair competition because its drivers don't have to pay city fees or undergo official inspections.

To prevent the expansion of Uber elsewhere in the country, city councils in at least another 13 state capitals have laws pending approval to ban the service.

In Maceio, capital of the northeastern state of Alagoas, city councilman Galba Netto recently told reporters: "We are trying to prevent a future problem Cheap Nick Foligno Hoodie , because the arrival of Uber in our city would be a disaster."

On its Facebook page, Uber said people "who cross the city every day have the right to choose how they will travel the streets of Sao Paulo."

WASHINGTON, July 4 (Xinhua) -- Scientists have discovered fossils belonging to an ancient, extinct crocodile relative that has deep and massive jaw bones armed with enormous serrated teeth like those of a T-rex, according to a new study published Tuesday.

The animal, found in Madagascar in Africa, was a top land predator of the Middle Jurassic period Cheap David Savard Hoodie , when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, according to the study published in the peer-reviewed journal PeerJ by Italian and French paleontologists.

Its jaw bones and serrated teeth strongly suggested that just like T-rex, it also fed on hard tissue such as bone and tendon.

These anatomical features led the researchers to believe that it is a Jurassic notosuchian, close to the South American baurusuchids and sebecids, that were highly specialized predators of terrestrial habits, but different from present-day crocodilians in having a deep skull and powerful erect limbs.

The full name of the predatory crocodyliform is called Razanandrongobe sakalavae, which means "giant lizard ancestor from Sakalava region."

Nicknamed Razana Cheap Oliver Bjorkstrand Hoodie , the animal is believed to be the oldest and possibly the largest representative of a group of crocodile-like animals called Notosuchians.

"Like these and other gigantic crocs from the Cretaceous, 'Razana' could outcompete even theropod dinosaurs, at the top of the food chain", Cristiano Dal Sasso, of the Natural History Museum of Milan, said in a statement.

"In actual fact, it contributes to filling in a gap in the group's evolution Cheap Ryan Murray Hoodie , which contains a long ghost lineage in the Jurassic," the paper .
