A shuttle bus carrying Apple employees from San Francisco to Cupertino caught fire this morning in unincorporated San Mateo County near Menlo Park, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said. The fire was reported at 6:40 a.m. on southbound Interstate Highway 280 at Sand Hill Road, CHP Officer Art Montiel said.
The rear left side of the bus caught fire. Montiel did not know what caused the fire.
No one was injured. Two lanes of the highway were closed for more than an hour and reopened at about 8 a.m.
No other vehicle was involved in the incident, Montiel said.
The employees were transferred to a different bus following the fire.
NBC Bay Area chopper video showed firefighters hosing down the bus, while traffic was diverted. All southbound lanes were reopened around 8 a.m. There were approximately 15 people inside the bus, per eyewitness information.

This thread could get interesting...
Sand Hill Road runs along one side of the Stanford campus.
Some famous VC firms are located on it. In the entrepreneurial world, Sand Hill Road is like Valhalla.
Did an iPhone go off?
Yes, Sand Hill Road is shorthand for the VC industry, like Wall Street for Finance.
Is there an app for this???
I hope they had Apple Care for the bus.
Is this a new feature? iBus v6.5 (combustible)
V.C. FIRMS?
Looks like the tires or brakes lit up.
Didn’t make it to work. Docked a day’s pay?
Oh. Transferred to another bus...only docked for being late!
Were any snowflakes harmed?
Every iPhone on that bus was out & recording. Guaranteed. There’ll be plenty of video on the ‘net.
Also...Gonna take a mighty BIG safe space to bring these kid’s emotional bubble back to level.
Siri why did the bus stop?
Siri why is the bus smoking?
Siri if I get off how long will it take for another bus to arrive?
LOL!!!
Stop being Siri.
Oooooh . . . . I thought that Victor Charlie had established some base camps. I almost opened “The” trunk.
Near San Francisco, that doesn't surprise me.
