Netizens' reaction to the post

A user of X platform named Ajay Kaswan wrote in Hindi, There are so many passengers in the bus and the car driver is beating the bus driver, everyone is watching and they get down and run away as if there is a flood in their house.

बाकी बस में इतनी सवारियां है और कार चालक बस ड्राइवर के साथ मारपीट कर रहे हैं सब देख रहे हैं और उत्तर उतरकर ऐसे भाग रहे हैं जैसे की उनके घर पर कोई बाढ़ आ रखी है

Another user of X platform named Shivam Yadav wrote in Hindi, DTC bus drivers have created terror in Delhi, they don't even pay heed to the small vehicle drivers, incidents take place everyday, police also doesn't take any action against DTC drivers, everyday these people are jumping red lights and running away, I have been saved many times while crossing the vehicle on green light.

दिल्ली में dtc बस वालों ने आतंक मचा रखा है, ये छोटी गाड़ी वालों को देखते भी नहीं है आये दिन रोज घटनायें होती है, पुलिस भी डीटीसी ड्राइवर पर कोई एक्शन नहीं लेती, आये दिन ये लोग रेड लाइट जम्प करके भाग रहे होते हैं, कई बार मे बचा हूँ ग्रीन लाइट पर गाड़ी क्रोस करते समय।।
