This styrofoam can be used for 15 years and can't be burned. Its function is to protect bus by retaining heat from the sun as well as from hot temperature inside the bus in case of fire.
"Not only that. This styrofoam can also be used to reduce noise from outside of the bus as well as noise from rain," he stated.
