Last September, a northbound bus caught fire on Sydney Harbour Bridge, shutting down traffic. Aware of the smoke from the engine, the driver evacuated 22 passengers.
But recently, in the process of investigating the details of the incident, traffic investigators in the new state saw an eye-popping scene of the incident
A passenger who escaped from the car suddenly returned to the car despite the burning fire.
Did ta lose anything valuable in the car?
Was someone trapped in the car? ta was back for rescue?
Just as investigators were trying to figure out what had happened, the mystery came to light.
This passenger is going back to drop the Opal card!
(according to the Opal system, if you do not pay by card when you get off the car, you will calculate the maximum one-way fee!)
Yeah, you heard me right.
That's why.
According to a report from the Traffic Safety investigation Office, the driver immediately parked his car in the middle of the road when he found something unusual. The passengers escaped from the car in about 15 seconds.
Before firefighters arrived, there was a blaze outside the car and black smoke.
And inside the surveillance video, suddenly, a passenger rushed into the car.
Ta held the OAL card in his hand and brushed it on the card reader before leaving again at ease.
As we all know, if there is no Didi card when you get off, then you will have to pay the maximum amount of fees.
But is it worth the risk?
The answer is: no eggs.
"the Opal card reader allows tap off, only when it arrives at the bus stop, so the passenger's approach does not make any sense," said Jim Donovan, an action advocate for public transport.
The driver and two passengers were reportedly taken to hospital after inhaling smoke during the fire.
The fire also damaged the underground pavement and needed to be repaired.
OTSI found that the fire started in the engine room and could be caused by electricity. It is then carried out by the hydraulic tank and the diesel passage.
After the fire, the new state transportation department has installed fire extinguishing systems on all buses.
And if you and your Opal card are safe, this passenger, who wants no money but is finally "on the verge of death", is there any way to find out if you and your Opal card are all right?
