In the viral clip, a water bottle is seen being rope-tied to the wiper on the frontal mirror. Through the rope attached to the opposite end, the driver maintains command over the wiper’s movement. As he pulls the string, the wiper can be seen operating accordingly with the hanging water bottle. The caption of the post reads, “Wiper running with jugaad in the bus of Uttar Pradesh Transport Corporation.”

Since being shared, the 35-second clip has earned more than 10,000 views and almost hundreds of people have liked it so far. Several hilarious reactions were found in the comment section. Some of the users also highlighted the disappointing condition of buses in the state.

A user shared, UP roadways have a shortage of funds to replace a cheap wiper.”

Another one raised a question by asking, “Well, this is a matter of thinking and realising what facility we are getting after paying tax, is this a good service?”
