In March this year, the first `poo bus' rolled out in the UK, powered by human and household waste. Now, UP State Road Transport Corporation is considering introducing these buses for intra-city services, across all 75 districts.
The corporation has been in talks with Swedish bus maker Scania, which produces vehicles fuelled by human waste.If this project sees the light of day , UP will be the first state to have bio-fuel powering buses.
Top road transport officials said all cities across the 75 districts could have these buses. The poop of 100 humans, they said, was all it would take to fuel a 200-km ride.
Buses that run on poop already ply the streets of Britain, Italy, Sweden and Poland.Ravinder Singh, service manager, Agra division of UPSRTC, said, “The Swedish bus maker showed a presentation to our representatives on how human excreta and household waste could provide a sustainable way of fuelling public transport, while also improving urban air quality .“
