Bangladesh Viral Video: If you think you’ve seen every kind of bus on the road, Dhaka might just prove you wrong. A viral video from Bangladesh’s capital shows something straight out of a movie scene: a bus driving around the city without any front at all. In the viral clip, shared on Instagram, the bus is seen moving through the crowded streets with no windshield, no dashboard, and no proper driver’s cabin. The engine is out in the open, yet the driver navigates through traffic with ease. Inside, passengers sit comfortably, as if there’s absolutely nothing unusual about their ride.
The video was posted by the Instagram page News In 2 Mins with the caption, “In what might seem shocking elsewhere but is just another day in Bangladesh, a frontless bus was casually spotted navigating the bustling streets of Dhaka—without a windshield, dashboard, or even a proper driver’s cabin. With the engine exposed and passengers seated as if nothing was unusual, the bus cruised through traffic unbothered, dodging rickshaws, cars, and pedestrians alike.” And for people living there, it really is just that, normal. Many buses in Dhaka don’t follow the standard safety or design rules you’d expect elsewhere.
“At first I thought some new technology,” joked a third user. “Driver is the new crumple zone of that bus,” added a fourth user. “Rest In Peace….Mr Safety,” added another user.
