The social media user claimed that the video was shot on Saturday and in the video, the bus was seen cruising through the busy road, on a wrong side of it. The user named Shreyas Belur took to social media platform X and wrote, “On the 22 nd June Saturday, During a busy day the KSRTC bus was driving in the opposite direction in Bangalore-Mysuru expressway. He is in the fast lane couple of cars had to quickly change lanes Due to this Reckless bus Driver.”

Meanwhile, the KSRTC responded to the video and promised appropriate action against the bus driver. Many users complained about repeated violations on the expressway and asked the authorities to cancel the driving license. “The drivers licence should be cancelled for wrong side driving , putting passengers and road users' lives in danger,” a user said.

In May, 60 cameras were installed on the Bengaluru—Mysuru Expressway to detect vehicles speeding and causing accidents. These cameras will spot vehicles travelling at higher speeds than the permissible limits and automatically generate traffic challans. The number of accidents on this expressway has been concerning and Karnataka police have been trying to bring them down.
