Tbf the manufacturing standards for plenty of e-scooters and -bikes can be pretty iffy sometimes, and people abuse them in ways that can increase the likelihood of issues. I concede that the vast majority of electric personal transportation devices that go up in flames usually happens during charging. A public transportation bus has to meet higher standards than a mono wheel scooter off of AliExpress.

(Imo they should be allowed on, but I can see the point in not doing so)

    Honestly, they should only allow devices with removable batteries, and they could have a bucket of sand outside the bus that holds those batteries. Kind of like how bicycles are attached to the front, you'd drop the battery in and then board the bus.

    But what if the battery starts burning while the bus is moving, on the road.. Like in the middle of a desert (...wait.. but still...)?
