If you were near the bullring in Cabo San Lucas this morning and thought you saw smoke signals, you weren’t imagining things. A “Ruta del Desierto” public bus caught fire around 8:40 AM, turning heads—and the sky—a dramatic shade of grey.
The blaze erupted just across from the bullring, prompting a swift response from local firefighters. Thankfully, all passengers and the driver made it off the bus safely, which is the kind of good news we love to report.
Traffic in the area slowed as the fire was extinguished, so if you’re heading that way, maybe go easy on the gas pedal—unless you’re trying to reenact a Fast & Furious scene (please don’t).
We’ll update if more details emerge, but for now, hats off to Cabo’s bomberos for handling the heat—literally.
