Indianapolis firefighters responded before 1:11 a.m. to the building,1801 W Washington St. after receiving a report of a fire in the building, said IndyGo spokeswoman Carrie Black.
Crews then found smoke coming from the bus, prompting a precautionary evacuation of the building.
"Firefighters quickly brought the situation under control," Black said in a statement.
Responders said a fire started in the back of the bus while it was charging. The official cause of the blaze has yet to be determined.
