Volvo buses on the other hand have had a really poor safety record, at least here in India. Here's one incident for example:

And it's not just this. I've personally witnessed at least 2 Volvos on fire on Bangalore roads, although thankfully, there weren't any fatalities. The positioning of the fuel tank is reportedly flawed in these buses.

- ricardobeat 11y agoI wonder what prevented the people trapped from breaking the glass windows at the sides or back of the bus? I always imagined that would be the first action in case of fire. Missing safety hammers? Crushed until they could not move?
