I learned more about this fire. After it happened, people assumed it was arson. AFD doesn't think so.

AFD radio communications and the fire incident report point to the fire starting in a battery charging room.

CapMetro hired a forensic investigator.

x.com/KUTnathan/stat… Nathan Bernier (@KUTnathan) on X Austin's Bikeshare service has been shut down since a May 23 fire inside a battery charging room at a CapMetro facility on Ben White. The same day, a Bikeshare bike caught fire on South Congress. The role of batteries is being investigated in both. https://t.co/PL6DcoYB7E
