Transport crisis: Lady sits on makeshift chair beside bus driver with gear lever in between her thighs

A viral video has shown a lady straddling the gear lever of a bus, with the driver having to use the gear between her legs.

The vehicle is a manual transmission, so the driver has to engage the gear between the lady’s legs every few seconds.

The front is actually meant for a passenger, but a makeshift seat was put in between the driver and the passenger seat to accommodate one more passenger, who unfortunately had to open her laps for the gear.

It was learnt that the ongoing fuel shortage and the attendant scarcity of vehicles has forced many passengers to adopt measures they ordinarily would never dream of, just in a bid to get to their destinations.

MSN yesterday shared a video of clip of a woman entering a danfo in Lagos through the window after she had waited fruitlessly for public transport to her destination.

The latest video has also generated a lot of comments, with many people commenting that it is not decent.

“The gear is too close to her private part now. What sort of arrangement is that? There is no way that driver would not be caressing her legs” a commenter opined.
