Indian bus driver who let a monkey behind the wheel of his vehicle was suspended Saturday (Oct 6) after a video of the incident went viral, sparking outrage and humour.
The 36-year-old driver is seen smiling and patting the langur monkey as it sits atop the wheel of the moving bus in footage shot by a passenger.

"So sweet. Why suspend. He should have been warned not to repeat this," tweeted Parag Heda.

Another local quipped that the driver was in the wrong profession.

He should start a GoFundMe. Bet he gets more than a few years worth of salary out of it.

In the video, the man is still steering. The monkey is basically riding on the steering wheel.
Give that man his job back.

Safer than a human because he uses all four paws to steer.

While the monkey may be in the way, he is damn sure not "driving" or "steering" the bus, as all four of his feet are on the steering wheel. If you think about it, this is really no more unsafe than people driving while holding dogs in their lap, which I see pretty much every day.
