Xinjiang recently experienced the drama of an attempted plane hijacking. Not to be outdone, our part of the country witnessed a slightly less ambitious attempted hijacking: of a public bus.

A man in Zhuhai seized the steering wheel of a bus after the driver refused to let him off at a station that no longer existed. The driver of the no.40 bus held the steering wheel firmly and there were no injuries, Southern Metropolis Daily reports.

Netizen “Sha Sha Niki” posted a picture and caption on Sina Weibo of the passenger grabbing the steering wheel. According to “Sha Sha Niki”, a number of bus stations had been cancelled. The passenger thought the driver was simply being uncooperative, then proceeded to grab the wheel.

“We explained to him that he could get off around the corner,” said the driver. They eventually persuaded the man to calm down. Announcements about the cancellations had already been plastered around the bus, according to reports.
