Sunday, February 21 the Megabus coming from Chicago caught fire on the highway in the northern suburbs of Chicago.
As reported by NBC news the bus driver and 40 passengers were forced to evacuate the bus which blew up in flames in the southbound lane of Route 41 between Route 176 and the Lake Forest Hospital entrance.
A New York Times travel columnist named Lucus Peterson tweeted that the bus caught on fire after the bus driver turned around and a tire blew. Thank God no one suffered any injuries but the passengers luggage was incinerated as they evacuated the bus. One of the passengers said he lost his social security card and other items.
This is a major problem for Megabus. With cases like this it makes it impossible for people to even want to travel using their services. Although noone was hurt it could have been worse.
What does this mean for Megabus? They could face losing loyal customers who ride Megabus on the regular. I for one happen to be a regular Megabus rider and it scared me to the point where I don't want to use their services anymore. Going back to riding Amtrak might be my choice if they can't guarantee me safety!
