A video showing a young couple in an intimate moment on a moving double-decker bus in London’s Hayes has gone viral on social media, igniting a wave of reactions and debate online.
The clip — reportedly recorded by a bystander and shared widely on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram — appears to show a couple dressed in winter clothing seated near the back of a red London bus, trying to hide their faces as they engage in an intimate act while the vehicle is in motion.
Social media users were quick to respond after the video began circulating on New Year’s Day, with many condemning the behaviour as inappropriate and offensive in a public setting. Critics argued that public transport is a shared space where such conduct is disrespectful to other passengers and potentially alarming for onlookers.
