The first collision between the articulated vehicles left 30 injured while a second just half an hour later saw another 120 likewise suffer cuts and bruises. It was not immediately clear why the buses, which run on specially designated lanes and are designed to transport some nine million people a month, had collided. Witnesses to the second accident claimed the driver of one of the buses had been talking to his wife on his cell phone when passengers yelled out a warning the vehicle was too close to another bus.
