Alarming: Two Electric Buses Spontaneously Explode, Entire Fleet Taken Off the Road in City
A state-owned public transport operator in Paris, France, the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens, has pulled out 149 electric buses from its fleet after two of them spontaneously exploded within the same month.

The RATP decided to temporarily retire the electric vehicles after the second explosion occurred around 9 a.m. on April 29 near the François Mitterrand Library, according to reporting from the local newspaper Le Parisien and a RATP news release.

Footage of the bus engulfed in flames in Paris’s 13th arrondissement was widely circulated on social media.
