This is Britain's first bus and had been unveiled in the Bristol area last autumn. It would be run entirely on gas generated by human and food waste and two of these buses would take to the roads on regular service later this month. These would be powered by biomethane gas and will use waste from more than 32,000 households along its 15-mile route. As per information, the bus will fill up at a site in Avonmouth, Bristol, where sewage and inedible food waste is converted into biomethane gas.
The bus would operate four days a week on Service 2 that stretches from Cribbs Causeway to Stockwood, from the 25th of March.
This is a practical application of alternate energy and would reduce dependence on conventional fuels. It had previously made an appearance running between Bath and Bristol Airport at the end of last year.
