The Volvo burns

Bangaloreans are notorious for burning buses. Is this a behaviour restricted only to India?

: A speeding BMTC Volvo bus ran amok, ploughed through a crowded bus shelter near the HAL Helicopter Division on the busy Airport Road and knocked down an autorickshaw and two bikes, leaving two dead and 20 injured on Tuesday afternoon. An irate mob torched the killer bus, a bike and hurled stones on a police jeep and brought life to a halt for hours.

People stand on the bus bays and a running bus stops in the middle of a road because he doesnt want to risk losing the road by actually stopping in the bus bay. As a result :-

Lots of jams at bus bays

And one Volvo zooms into a bus bay (where people are standing) and just rolls its wheels on 18 of them.Sad news.
