holytoastrAm exciting afternoon for me. My bus caught fire.
About 5 minutes into the trip, the bus started to make a warning beep. Not too long after that, the engine just gave up. Our driver pulled the bus aside and we waited about a minute. Then the bus started up again. But that only lasted a few more minutes. Then the engine shut down again.
The bus was also starting to smell like things burning and melting. It was not a good smell.
We went stop and go stop and go all the way home. A 15 minute trip took twice as long. The bus stalled at one point in the toll gate. Then stalled again in an intersection.
Finally, as we were pulling into the park and ride, the whole thing started to fill with smoke. We all had to evacuate since the bus was on fire. Luckily no one was hurt, though some people were coughing a bit from the smoke.
