On September 5th, 2018, a commercial passenger bus burnt to ashes near the toll gate in popular Lekki Lagos. This is one of many similar frequent occurrences around Nigeria. In this article, we will detail the top 3 reasons why commercial buses catch fire and burn. Burnt buses cause significant traffic delays and should be avoided. They can also cause loss of lives  or significant permanent injuries although in most cases, passengers have all escaped unharmed.

 

Top 3 reasons commercial vehicles catch fire and burn:

1. Not well maintained. Frequent servicing of cars are very vital for commercial vehicles that are used back-to-back on a daily basis.
2. Wrong fuel type or improper fueling such as over-fueling
3. Over speeding with an overloaded poorly-maintained vehicle. Overloading the vehicles causing their exhaust pipe to drag on the concrete road coupled with unsolved electrical issues can cause fire to erupt.
