Andrew Oh/Guardian

An MTS Superloop bus caught fire on Voigt Bridge last Thursday, according to UCSD Police Department reports. The report, dated 2:31 p.m. on Jan. 13, stated that the bus was part of the SuperLoop 201 fleet.

“We were driving by and I only got a quick glance, but there was smoke coming out from the back of the bus,” Marshall College sophomore Kimberly Garcia said. “There was a whole load of police cars surrounding that bus and they blocked off that intersection. When I drove by again, the police were still there and they were cleaning up the residue from that fire extinguisher.”

A UCSD graduate student who wished to remain anonymous, also saw the fire while riding the Mesa shuttle on her way home.

“There was smoke coming out from the back of this bus,” she said. “[The police] blocked off part of the intersection so traffic was really bad. People on the Mesa shuttle were pissed.”

There were no reports of injuries.
