    Something here is fishy.How come sleeping conductor didnt notice self bus was burning.?When bus was closed how can conductor was inside?He could comeout or had no key?Ask driver intensively.When conductor was inside and smoking cigarette for example ,felt down and got fire?But in a closed bus there is no oxygen ,and cigarette will not burn.very suspicious.May his soul rest in peace.Heartfelt sympathy to his family.Usually driver closes bus and how the conductor got in ?Suspicious.
