As Discussed: the Burning Man Eco-friendly Bus System

Dear Internet: please take this idea and make it happen as I am almost 100% certain it is a good one - one that could even make money.

Burning Man has thousands of people, a majority (?) of whom live in the Bay Area, most of whom drive individual cars full of stuff to the Nevada desert for basically the same number of days as everyone else. The idea is to take a small fleet of the "Eco-friendly" (do they run on biofuel?) buses like those that comprise the menacing fleet that maraud our neighborhoods filled with Google employees, and fill them with paying Burning Man participants and their stuff. People could sign up and pay to be transported, and could reserve space on a more open, warehousey type of bus for their stuff. The Stuff Bus would leave at the same time as the People Bus. The Stuff Bus would charge based on square footage required to house the Stuff.

The tagline: The Party Starts on the Bus.
