Title: UK's first ever 'poo bus' hits the roads
Post by: eye30 on November 22, 2014, 14:12:28: 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.

Unfortunately, burning Methane is a high producer of CO₂ :fum:

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

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