Mumbai-bound volvo bus fire kills 7, injures 40 in Karnataka - Livemint

Again happened with a Volvo bus. This fire incident followed quickly after previous tragedy. Did Volvo of all reliable brands just became UNSAFE ? Drivers are to blame but looks like question arouses abt its safety. RIP the 7 souls.

Its a metal frame now thats why it looks so. Just put the glass upper dec and the luggage space down, then suddenly all pieces come to place. Its the backside of Volvo you are seeing.
Its a regular Volvo Travels infact.
