was bus carrying cylinder or bus running on cylinder?

looks like a bus running on compressed gas...
makes me wonder how bad the system was....no safety valves? or was the gas leaking?

Low quality CNG cylinders, should be investigate and banned though out Pakistan.

Sometimes if i have to travel in a public transport i seriously have a fear for my life while sitting on seat beneath which there is CNG cylinder. In reality these are the bombs which just needs a big jerk to catch fire blazing flames. Very recently there was an incident where a wagon carrying 18 passengers was coming from Taxila to Rawalpindi in the morning when it crashed to the tree due to the blown tire. Few passengers were injured but due to leakage from CNG cylinder the wagon caught fire and the passengers had no chance to escape from death. This makes me feel so bad and sick up to my stomach that even the local made buses running on the road today are running on CNG putting all the passengers lives in great danger. I don't know how Government will tackle this situation because Government itself cannot "afford" to reduce the price of diesel so that it could be used as a alternate fuel like early times.
