That bus driver was at fault. First of all he invited the elephant by holding out some food for it. Then when he had multiple chances to drive away, he just didn’t move.
To make matters worse the passengers kept getting off the bus. This is our Indian habit, if the bus or train stops somewhere people must get out and wander around, otherwise their heads would explode. Feeding an elephant that comes near roads causes habituation in the animal where it will then come deliberately to the road expecting food.
Due to certain replies, I’m amending my comments to read – This is our South Asian habit ..
Poor elephant. He didn’t attack any vehicle. The person who gave food is really the problem maker! The elephant tried only to get more food.
The small banana is not enough for the big elephant. Don’t feed animals. Hungry elephant searching food inside the bus. Brave elephant move because of brave bus driver.
The driver of the other bus got real guts to chase, stop and obstruct the elephant from engaging the affected bus. He’s the man!
