The video has received over 1.4 million views and has prompted a discussion about the city's traffic issues.

Another wrote, "Struggle of drivers are really really hard , i see my dad sacrificing so many things but I am proud to be a daughter of BMTC driver ?? , i request everyone to respect them."
"Having a meal on the go is still ok... But what about answering nature calls... the struggle for the bus drivers and conductors is real... Huge respect for all those people out there," wrote another.
