 The UK's first bus powered entirely by human and food waste has gone into service between Bristol and Bath.

The 40-seater 'Bio-Bus' is fuelled by biomethane gas. And a single tank of the gas - produced using the typical annual waste of five people - is enough to power the vehicle for 190 miles.

Annual waste of 5 people to travel 190 miles. What's the point of doing this?

I heard its ABS isn't that clever - leaves lots of skid marks on the road.

The driver doesn't like the bus at all. He says it's a piece of sh1t.

The passengers on that bus were miffed to find that the bell button, when pushed, made the sound "dung".

Your comic genius is flowing unabated, at an incredibly fast, projectile-like rate. :whistler:

 :sicky:

Apparently, those passengers are in a dilemma when departing the bus.

Should the fold down seats be left up or down...
