A fire burned the rear section of a Transjakarta bus on Jl. Urip Sumoharjo in East Jakarta on Tuesday night, a fireman says.
No casualties were reported in the incident.

“The back of the bus was gutted,” East Jakarta firemen Kaswin said Tuesday as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
Kaswin said the bus was on its way to the depot and its driver had already told its passengers to disembark after he noticed something wrong with the bus.

The fire had engulfed the rear section before the bus could get back to the depot. No report was made on any attempts by the driver to extinguish the blaze himself, or whether the bus was equipped with a fire extinguisher. Previously, several other Transjakarta buses have been destroyed by fire, some of which were thought to have been sparked by electrical faults.
