The most efficient way to power anything is to power it with our Caloric Intake,FoodPower ed Humans can move themselves either walking or with the aid of machines designed to use leg or arm power to do work.Bicycles and Tri- cycles are the most efficient for short dist- ances,even carrying groceries..I'd like to see someone design a Bus which would use the passengers for motive power,yes,PeoplePower is the way to go,Clean,Efficient,PeoplePower

I heard something a while ago about installing piezo-electric devices on sidewalks.
(FYI, piezo-electric means mechanical pressure transformed into electricity)
So basically, people walking on the sidewalk would produce electricity and they won't even been bothered about it. They were walking anyway...
Much unlike your human powered bus where people would have to work to get somewhere. That bus would be really slow when carrying people back home after a hard day's work...
