I remember a time when the new bus company Scandinavia did some serious efforts to create a company that prioritized comfort and safety. Whenever I needed to take a bus I have always tried to use them. By time the quality of the buses have gone worse and worse and after my trip yesterday I am not sure I will use them again. One of the earlier Scandinavian buses going from Dar to Iringa took fire and completely burned out. We arrived after the fire, luckily noone got badly injured, some Finnish person had hurt his leg jumping out the window and some people got some small cuts. Our half full bus filled up with stranded passengers where many had lost all their luggage in the fire. After some time when I was just about to fall asleep I heard an explossion and looked out the window and could see some smoke, my first thought was that our bus had also taken fire. Luckily i was only a tire that exploded, the driver who realized is was the tire wanted to continue driving as the bus had double tires. The passangers who had experienced their first bus taking fire demanded the the driver to eventually stop and at least have a look at the damage as there was strange sounds. Eventually the bus driver stopped and almost started a fight with complaining passengers. Driver who was chewing stuff seemed to have lost his mind for a while. The tire was changed and we continued the journey but at one of the regular stops wires from the tires that had jammed the suspension had to be removed which ended up taking quite a bit of time. Few kilometers later a bus had just had a frontal collision with a lorry and we stopped to check it out but luckily it seemed like noone had got badly injured. Arrived in Iringa very late but happy that I survived yet another adventures bus trip. Scandinavia have lost my credibility as this is not the first time I have experienced problems with their buses and drivers.
