...AND CHEAPER...:

UK's first 'poo bus' goes into regular service (Press Association, 15 March 2015)

Powered by biomethane gas, the Bio-Bus will use waste from more than 32,000 households along its 15-mile route.

Operated by First West of England, the bus will fill up at a site in Avonmouth, Bristol, where sewage and inedible food waste is turned into biomethane gas.

The bus, which can seat up to 40 people, was unveiled last autumn. First is showing the bus in Bristol on Tuesday before it starts operating four days a week from 25 March. 

If the route is successful, First will consider introducing more "poo buses".
