With two buses catching fire in a span of barely 10 days, the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) has suspended the operation of 186 MIDI buses in its fleet. Officials said the BMTC’s mechanical engineering section and technical team from Ashok Leyland, which had supplied the buses, are jointly inspecting the vehicles. Those that are deemed fit will be taken out of the depot and pressed into service.
Buses catching fire in such a short span is a serious concern, officials admitted. The first incident was reported on January 21 when a moving MIDI bus caught fire near Makkala Koota Park in Chamarajpet. The second incident was reported on February 2 near South End Circle. Fortunately, in both instances, passengers and the bus crew escaped unharmed.
