Greasebus - Veggie Powered Shred Transit

Greasebus is the world’s first and only vegetable oil powered mass transit shuttle for skiers and snowboarders. Based out of Portland, Oregon, the Greasebus makes daily trips up to Mt Hood Meadows throughout the ski season. They receive their fuel free of charge by donation from several Portland area restaurants. With help from sponsors and the fact that they aren’t affected by fuel prices, they’re able to charge just ten dollars per person for each round trip to Mt Hood. It’s easy to sign up for a ride at their website www.greasebus.com.
