Inappropriate activities of a couple caught on tape in a moving double decker bus in Hayes, west London, has become a frequent subject of strong reactions and worries from both commuters and local officials. The video clip, which has been shared widely across the internet, seems to show the couple each occupying a seat on the upper deck of the bus along with other passengers while the bus continued on its route. Onlookers could not believe their eyes and felt awkward as the event unfolded, and a few even took videos with their phones and uploaded them to the internet later. The clip quickly went viral, garnering many different kinds of reactions from the public all over the UK, ranging from annoyance to disbelief.
Transport for London (TfL) and the local law enforcement confirmed that they were informed about the occurrence and that it was under investigation. The TfL, in its very brief statement, expressed that the behavior shown in the clip was “completely unacceptable” and the participants’ defenselessness would be examined in light of public transport rules. The police reported that they had gotten a number of calls about the occurrence and that they were thus examining the tapes to see if they could identify the two individuals in the video and if there had been any disruption or ignoring of safety. Also, the authorities made it clear to the public that posting such material on the internet only creates more problems than it solves and they should not take such cases as unpleasant materials to be revealed, but rather direct them to the appropriate channels.
The bus video that went viral has opened up a dialogue on a larger scale concerning manners in public, social media habits, and the delineation of privacy in shared environments. People who were interviewed near Hayes told about their feelings of ‘discomfort’ and ‘surprise’ regarding the incident, and some even suggested that public transport should have stricter behavior rules to be enforced. While this was going on, the public drew the attention on the platforms to the question of whether filming bystanders is justified and how the distribution of the video can affect the persons involved. Meanwhile, transportation authorities still assert that they would not compromise on safety measures for passengers and will continue to control the behavior of the public on the buses across London while at the same time making it clear that public spaces should be free of tension and secure for everyone.
