A single tank of the gas, which is produced using the typical annual waste of five people, is enough to power the vehicle for 190 miles.
So the [b]annual waste of one person would move the bus 38 miles.[/b]
How much poo would be required to move a fleet of a thousand buses at 12 mph through a conurbation for 18 hours a day? 216 miles x 363 days = 78,408,000 miles. Divide by 38 miles per person = 2,063,3684 people's annual waste. Unfortunately, there's only 1.1 million people in Tyne and Wear.
In other words, to make Tyne and Wear's buses 100% poo-powered you'd need twice the amount of poo that the population can produce....
... unless we all swapped to a very high-fibre diet...
Somebody else care to check my maths...?
Would the bus go like shit off a shovel
The waste and gas I produce myself could send a Space Ship to the moon and back, I am master farter with loose guts a lot of the time
Would the exhaust fumes from such a bus smell like a shit or a fart???
I remember when Dalton Park was being built, for the grassy parts human waste was used as a fertiliser, for about 3 months Murton smelt like shit
...saying that it ain't much better now haha
