The bus was on the way to Balibago terminal in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, from its Gil Puyat terminal in Pasay.

Case investigator SFO1 Katherine Apostol said the fire started at the bus’ engine compartment at the back and did not reach the interior of the bus.

The fire was eventually put out at 10:34 p.m.

Apostol said none of the passengers were hurt and they were later transferred to another bus.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation. /je
