Sydney passenger risks life to tap off Opal card during bus inferno
A PASSENGER has gone to extreme lengths to ensure he tapped off his Opal card
at the end of his journey — climbing back inside a burning bus to avoid
being overcharged.
雪梨一名乘客为了避免他的Opal卡被收取高额的罚金*而冒险返回起火的公共汽车并刷卡付费。
Transport investigators examining a bus fire on the Sydney Harbour Bridge
last September were shocked to make the discovery while reviewing CCTV
footage captured from inside the vehicle.
去年九月于雪梨港湾大桥发生的公共汽车起火事件，交通运输部门的调查员在调阅监视绿影器
画面时发现了这个惊人的画面。
After the 22 passengers were evacuated within 15 seconds of stopping, a man
could be seen hurrying back inside the burning bus in order to tap off his
Opal card to ensure he was not charged the maximum daily fare.
在发现起火后公共汽车司机立即停好车，并于15秒内将22名乘客疏散下车。但这时却见到一名
男子火速返回起火中的公共汽车旁并试图触碰交通卡收费机器，以免被收取高额的罚金。
Action For Public Transport campaigner Jim Donovan said while the man might
have though he was saving a few dollars performing the deadly act, it was
likely all in vain.
“The Opal readers will only allow people to tap off when the bus is at a
stop,” he told Fairfax Meida.
“This person should obviously just have stayed well clear in any case.”
一名交通运输部门的官员表示：“这位老兄可能觉得他省了几毛钱，但是咱们的收费机器
只有在靠近停靠站牌时才会作用。”而他也对这名乘客临危不乱思绪感到佩服。
Firefighters were called to Milsons Point after the bus burst into flames.
The fire was extinguished soon after they arrived on scene and the burnt
wreckage was removed.
All the passengers escaped safely, although three were treated for minor
smoke inhalation.
而在公共汽车起火后消防队很快抵达现场并扑灭了火势，全车乘客顺利逃离。但还是有三人因
吸入浓烟送医。
Preliminary investigations suggested an electrical problem in the engine bay
was to blame for the incident.
A final report into the fire will be released in the next fortnight.
初步调查结果是因为公共汽车的电路问题而起火，最终调查报告将于两周后公布。
