    Buses in Oslo to Get Poop Power

    Next time you hop on a bus in Oslo, it might not run on regular gas. Instead, it may be running on methane fermented from human waste. Awesome? More »

    NYC Makes Buses Hijack Proof With Remote Controlled Device

    Let's say someone put a bomb on your bus and it can't go below 50 mph or it will explode. If that were to happen on a NYC bus you would probably be incinerated because the city has installed a new GPS device in thousands of local commuter and tourist buses. If the authorities get wind of a hijacking in progress, they can slowly stop the vehicle and prevent it from restarting via remote control. It may not work for "Speed" style situations, but for conventional hijackings, it could prove to be an effective weapon. More »

    Hybrid Buses No Match For Punk Kids

    San Francisco's Municipal railway has shut down hybrid bus service on two lines that run through housing projects in San Francisco's Hunters Point neighborhood. Apparently, kids have taken to flipping the power switches located on the outside of the bus—which shuts down radios, lights and makes it impossible to accelerate. They say that service will not be restored until locks can be installed on the power boxes. Locks? Goddammit, it's a crisis! Why the power switches are located in an open box on the exterior of the bus is beyond me, but it seems that a quick trip to the local Wal-Mart could solve this dilemma right away. [SF Chronicle]

    Driverless Buses Headed to London, May Miss It

    Some things are a disaster waiting to happen. Having a motor vehicle without a driver is one of them. Dubbed Personalised Public Transport or "PPT", people could have a bus roll up to their house that uses magnetic markers in the roads as a pathway, and an obstacle and traffic detection system. Word is the buses will only do 25mph tops, but may go up to 45mph on certain routes. Sounds kind of scary but fun, like eating grubs. More »
