Passengers travelling in a City Bus from Railway Station side had a miraculous escape when the rear tyre of the bus burst with a loud bang near Field Marshal K.M. Cariappa Circle (Metropole Circle) here this morning.
The driver, using his presence of mind, drove the bus straight and brought it to a halt in front of Maharani’s Hostel on JLB Road. If the tyre had burst while the bus was taking a turn from JLB Road to Hunsur Road, a major mishap would have taken place, said eyewitnesses.
