Metro pulls 94 buses after second fire

Published



Metro pulled nearly 100 buses off the road Tuesday after one of its vehicles combusted for the second time in a week — the latest in a series of public buses to catch fire in the Washington region.

The agency removed 94 Orion VI buses following a fire aboard a bus without passengers on Route 50 between Interstate 95 and the MLK Highway early Tuesday in Prince George’s County. The driver was not injured.
