A disturbing video that recently surfaced on Instagram has gone viral across social media, leaving viewers in shock. The footage captures a dangerous incident in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, highlighting the alarming state of public transport in the region.
The video shows several school students traveling in an overcrowded government-run “Free Bus for Women” service. With no room inside the bus, students are seen hanging dangerously from the footboard. This creates a highly unsafe travel condition, raising serious concerns about passenger safety.
At one point in the video, the bus passes closely by an auto-rickshaw. One of the students hanging from the footboard collides with the auto and falls to the ground — a heart-stopping moment that has shocked viewers online.
This viral video sheds light on the severe shortage of public transportation and the unsafe conditions that students are forced to endure daily. The incident has sparked widespread discussions on the urgent need to improve public transport infrastructure in Tamil Nadu.
As the video continues to circulate widely, many are calling on authorities to take immediate action to ensure the safety of all passengers — especially school students who rely on public buses to get to school every day.
