The passengers just catch on fire instead!

(Modifications to the Citaro bendy buses sorted that problem out.)

Wonder how they're coping in the 40C heat of a Maltese summer!

They don't have to, as they didn't last long there, either.

From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malt...282011-2013.29

"In August 2013, the Government of Malta instructed Arriva Malta to remove
the articulated buses from service, pending investigation following three
major fire outbreaks in the span of 48 hours. The fires destroyed the buses
and in one case caused extensive damage to some nearby vehicles belonging
to MaltaPost, the country's postal operator. Nobody was injured in these
incidents. Like in the UK when the same buses had caught fire, these buses
became a popular joke in conversations and social media sites."
