Bengaluru bus driver being issued a challan did not escape the hawkish eyes of the netizens either. But first a little about the picture. A Bengaluru school bus driver took a wrong U-turn on a busy road near the Garudacharpalya metro station in Bengaluru.

This was pointed out by a Twitter user. A Twitter user with the handle "FixBangalorePls" shared a video of the bus taking the wrong turn. "@ChrysalisHigh Your school bus full of students is driving down wrong way under Garudacharpalya metro station from Brigade Metropolis.

Bus number KA53AA6189 . @blrcitytraffic please impose severe fine, being school bus and endangering life of so many kids is not done," the user wrote. The Twitter user followed their tweet with another, this time sharing a video of the bus taking a dangerously sharp U-turn again.

"This is today, despite the complain, the same bus. what action is taken?" they wrote in the caption. As is the norm, the bus driver was issued a fine for not following the traffic rules in a city rued with traffic woes.

However, this time the Bengaluru traffic police shared a picture of them implementing a punitive action on the bus driver. "Fined Bus driver," the Mahadevapura Traffic Department tweeted. “Thanks a lot for the quick action, I hope this deters him from putting kids lives at risk going ahead" said the Twitter user "FixBangalorePls".

Since being posted, the picture has garnered more than 228,000 views and nearly 200 likes. However, the photo with the bus driver holding the fine receipt and the police officer standing next to him consequently sparked a flurry of hilarious reactions from Twitter users. Several people jokingly asked if the bus driver had been given an award for what he had done.
