Double-decker bursts into flames at Hong Kong bus terminal

Smoke poured out of a double-decker bus after it burst into flames in Tsuen Wan on Tuesday afternoon.

The Kowloon Motor Bus vehicle on route 30 caught fire while parked at a bus terminal outside Allway Gardens in Tsuen King Circuit shortly before 2.30pm, according to police.

No one was on board at the time of the incident.

“A passer-by told police that the rear part of the bus first burst into flames,” a police spokesman said.

Photographs circulated online showed black smoke billowing from the burning vehicle and drifting skyward.
