Traffic remained slightly disrupted around midnight on the ring road at the height of the incident, this Sunday evening, according to the real-time traffic site Sytadin.
On the night of August 16 to 17, a fire had already broken out in a RATP bus depot. In question, according to the group: “a short circuit at the level of the driving position of a bus”. The penultimate episode of a long series of accidental bus fires in the Paris region.
In 2022, a proliferation of this type of event prompted the Paris transport authority to withdraw Bolloré’s 149 electric bluebuses from circulation. Other incidents have taken place since, involving different models.
