permitted in the passenger compartment , however , the engine is

Another reason for bendy buses overheating and catching fire is the
tendency "for articulated buses to use the same engine as
non-articulated buses; this leads to a slower speed and
acceleration, due to an increase of weight. When used in cities
with many slopes (e.g. Vancouver, B.C. or San Francisco,
California) the vehicle is prone to overheating, leading to
stalling in the milder case and a fully fledged fire in the worst
case. ", according to wikipedia.
