MUMBAI: In a second such incident at Malvani depot in three months, an electric AC bus caught fire during battery charging early on Friday.
Nobody was injured as the fire was doused within half an hour. The fire incident, however, raised questions about the safety of BEST’s wet lease buses. On Thursday, the wheel of another BEST bus almost came off as the wheel bolt was broken near Thane check naka on LBS Marg (route A-494). The driver stopped the bus in time and prevented any untoward incident.
