Ever imagined a bus running on human poop!

The Bio-Bus which runs on human waste has made its inaugural journey in England.

According to Metro.co.uk, the bus is powered by biomethane gas which uses waste from more than 32,000 households along its 15-mile route.

The bus which is operated by bus company First West of England will fill up at a site in Avonmouth, Bristol where sewage and inedible food wastes are converted into biomethane gas. This bus which can accommodate up to 40 people at a time will operate for four days in a week.

‘Since its original unveiling last year the Bio-Bus has generated worldwide attention and so it’s our great privilege to bring it to the city, to operate – quite rightly – on Service too.’ Quoted James Freeman, managing director of First West of England while inauguration.

Running on biomethane gas will effectively help reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared with other fuels.

A good initiative to save the world from global warming.
