Woo hoo! Bristol Airport has a poo bus! Time for Dublin to follow suit?

On a serious note, leaving all the s*it jokes and puns - this is a really clever idea. I think it's a great way to upcycle the smelly stuff, win win all round no? Good for the environment and an alternative use for human waste.

Britain's first bus to be powered by human and food waste has taken to the roads.

The 40-seat Bio-Bus, nicknamed "the number two," will transport people between Bath and Bristol Airport.

The biomethane gas it runs on is produced at a sewage treatment works at Avonmouth.

The eco-friendly vehicle can travel up to 300km (186 miles) on one tank of gas, which takes the annual waste of about five people to produce

Smells iffy to me.

I wonder just how much energy is required to turn the motion into motion-lotion.

Not quite as gross as I first thought. I was envisaging all the seats having large holes in them, with passengers being encouraged to load up on curry, Guinness, cabbage etc before their journey.

A poopervisor at Bristol airport said that the bus only operates on Splatterdays and is strictly for picking up passengers from charturd airlines.
