Bengaluru Viral Video: A normal evening in Bengaluru turned scary when a BMTC bus driver was caught on camera trying to drive his bus toward a woman after a small argument. The shocking moment happened during rush hour on May 23 and was shared on X by a page called 'ChristinMathewPhilip'. The video quickly spread across social media, leaving people angry and demanding action. The video shows a woman getting out of her car to talk to the bus driver. The reason behind their argument is still unknown, but what happened next startled everyone: the bus's driver abruptly swung forward, nearly colliding with her. Fortunately, the woman avoided injury by jumping back just in time.
People nearby recorded the scene, and the video shows how close the woman was to getting injured. Viewers were quick to call out the bus driver’s reckless behaviour and asked why someone driving a public vehicle would act like that.

Although the BMTC driver has been suspended, the video has sparked a larger question: how safe are people on the roads when even drivers on public transport act in such a manner? Residents of Bengaluru are requesting strict action and improved regulations to restore the sense of safety for both pedestrians and passengers.
The video, after being shared, received many likes, comments, and views from social media users. One user wrote, "Such people are just shaming the real Bangalore. Which company would like to operate from such a city? If a company starts moving out, then what is left behind ?? All this for some people who get the bad name as cops are sleeping ??" "I hope they don't make a language issue if a girl is non-Kannada," a second user added.
"The driver should be in jail. Not just suspend. What's there to suspend? He will do some other junk thing next. He needs to be tutored with black and blue," a third user added. "Mere suspension is not enough. This is attempted murder," a fourth user added. "The woman should approach the court for the right charges against the bus driver," added another user.
