I think this idea's the shit.
It does seem like a most excrement idea, doesn't it?

Sorry, it smells.
^ So what is the formal name for this technology? What are we supposed to be colon it?
I don't have the intestinal fortitude to look that up.
Can I get a discounted fare if I contribute a bowel movement during the ride?
They're not literally pouring poop into cars and buses. Once it's been processed it's natural gas; it's odorless and colorless unless additives are mixed in.
Okay I voted, I think it is an awesome idea!!
I know I make this fuel every single day, how nice that it will now be useful.

Okay, my inner five-year-old gave a little giggle when I read Gaseous Anomaly's user name in the YES votes. 
Better be careful though - we don't want a secret like this getting out. Put the strongest encraption algorithm on it that you can.
"Soylent Brown is bus poop!" -Charlton HestonThe question is: Can the bus, when it has reached the end of it's lifespan, be converted into food fit for human consumption?
If so, then there is a perfect cycle.
My question: does it take more energy to produce than it benefits us? While a nice idea, what is the real cost of using this?
I'd want this answered before I give a YES vote, but I won't vote NO since I'm not ruling it out. How about WAIT AND SEE as an option?
The question is clearly about squeamishness, not efficiency. Obviously if the thing was totally inefficient no one would bother.
Actually, we already have that. Over the last 2 decades there has been such a boom of bio-gas plants that one out of 10 farmers in my district has one (and all major wastewater treatment facilities and organic waste dumps). With the resulting methane we mainly run gas turbines and make electricity (the heat that's a by-product is used to heat schools, homes for disabled or elderly people and public baths) but there are also quite a few communities that run their buses on methane made from all kinds of organic waste.
So basically our waste does fuel that bus already
And it keeps us warm, runs our washing machines and cooks our supper.
