A Hyderabad biker became an internet sensation after a video captured him bravely confronting a TGSRTC bus driver for driving on the wrong side of a busy road. Despite the driver’s aggression, the motorcyclist stood his ground, blocking the bus’s path and ultimately forcing it to reverse.
A Hyderabad biker’s rather “filmy” gesture quickly brought to mind standard action and police films on the internet! Recently, an amazing video of the aforementioned rider standing firmly in the midst of a busy road while being videotaped by another commuter standing behind him was posted on social media. As it turned out, the motorcyclist confronted the TGSRTC bus driver by blocking his path since he was approaching from the incorrect side. The motorcyclist apparently refused to move in spite of the bus driver’s violent threats.
The bus attempted to move from the side at one point as well, but the cyclist blocked the public transportation’s way once again. In the end, the bus driver began to reverse the vehicle, forcing him to back down.
Netizens started responding as soon as the video became viral. While some likened the situation to scenes from films, the majority praised the man’s “courage.”
“Incident: T.G.S.R.T.C – Bus Number: TG 10 T 1469, Bus route – 195W. He came into wrong route opposite direction, confronted biker and me as well, he came at so much speed, instead of realising his mistake he shouted at the police and biker who confronted him. Even these days local bus drivers are being very rash, driving recklessly and not at all caring who is on the roads. At last he even hit an auto carrying passengers, when asked he is very aggressive,” the post read.

“It’s possible because it’s happening in the southern part of India. If you try to do the same good thing in North India, especially by confronting angry bus drivers on the road, they might even kill you. But I’m happy that at least someone is standing up against the wrong,” a user said.
“Well done. We need more people like him who will stand up to the wrong side, especially these bus drivers who think they own the roads,” added another. “Finally someone stood for the right thing,” added another.
