# SBS Transit bus catches fire on PIE; no injuries reported

An SBS Transit bus engulfed in flames on the PIE on Feb 13.

SINGAPORE - An SBS Transit bus caught fire on the PIE on Feb 13, sending plumes of black smoke into the sky.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force said that it was alerted to the fire on the expressway towards Tuas before Clementi Road exit at about 11.45am.

The blaze was extinguished with two water jets, it added.

There were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire is being investigated.

In a video shared in the SGRoad Blocks/Traffic News Telegram group on Feb 13, an SBS Transit bus can be seen engulfed in flames on the expressway shoulder.

A boom can be heard amid the wailing of sirens in the distance, as thick black smoke rises from the vehicle.

Another video by Facebook user Ellen Teo shows two traffic police officers directing traffic near the burning vehicle. At least three lanes on the expressway appear to be blocked.

Other videos posted online show the bus reduced to just its frame.

In October 2025, 40 passengers were evacuated from an SMRT bus after a fire broke out in the engine compartment of the vehicle as it was travelling on the PIE.

According to SCDF’s annual statistics report released earlier in February, there were 226 vehicle fires in 2025, down from 257 in 2024.

The Straits Times has contacted the police and SBS Transit for more information.
