Indian bus driver suspended after letting monkey drive

An Indian bus driver has been suspended ‑ for letting a monkey "drive" his bus.

This is despite not one of the 30‑or‑so passengers on board the vehicle complaining about their behaviour.

However when a video of the relaxed ‑ and apparently competent ‑ monkey taking the wheel went viral, the human driver's employers took action.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, this has not been an entirely popular decision with internet users delighted by the short clip.

The BBC reports that according to witnesses, the monkey boarded the vehicle with another passenger but refused to sit anywhere but up front.

According to reports, the monkey eventually reached his destination and left the driver to carry on with his day.
