I've just been thinking about the idea of a food bus. It would be a normal bus in every way except that instead of being full of people it would be full of cheap organic foods that people can browse through and buy. And instead of using usual bus stops it would use parking lots and malls and just nice shady spots by the side of the road. And instead of stopping for one minute at stops it would stop for one hour. And instead of driving with diesel it would drive with vegetable oil.
It wouldn't probably make money. It would have some nice seats for people to sit and chat on. If you spent a day on the bus helping then you would cheaper food. If you gave vegetable oil then you get cheaper food too.
I like food. And communtity. And also buses. So I think it would make me happy.
Could it be a train?

a Double Decker bus, downs stairs is all the veg and upstairs is couches and free wifi.

I like trains, but I think they wouldn’t be quite as agile. I’d have trouble driving the train up those little cul-de-sacs that old people often live in.

Probably it won’t be like the short bus. Although I suppose it could be short. Certainly to start off with while people get to know us. No point driving around a giant bus if you don’t need it.

I think the double-decker idea could be quite good. Although it might be annoying for people if they just sit down to have their coffee and then they have to leave because the bus is going to the next stop. Maybe if it stopped for a couple of hours it would be OK though.
