Indians are quite popular for their temporal skills. A video going viral on social media shows one such skill. The clip is currently dividing the internet, with seven members of a family going on a journey on the same motorcycle.
Shared by Indian Administrative Service officer Supriya Sahu, the video opens to two women and several children surrounding a bike on which a man is already sitting. First, a kid jumps on the bike’s fuel tank and sits. A few seconds later, another child climbs up and shares the fuel tank space.
With just one more space behind, four people are still waiting to get on the motorcycle. A woman sits in the back seat and holds the child in her lap. Another woman does something similar, and thus a seven-member family successfully accommodates on a motorcycle. Sharing the video, the IAS officer wrote in the caption, ‘Speechless.

A user demanded cancellation of the driver’s license in the video. Another wrote, “Ma’am, no one wants to travel like this, we don’t have proper transport system, they don’t have car, driver with red light is waiting on order, condition of buses is pathetic, ticket too much Waiting for public transport is not available on 40% of the routes in India.
This is not the first time that such shocking cases of overloaded vehicles have come to the fore. In July, the Uttar Pradesh Police stopped an auto carrying a total of 27 passengers. The police officers were stunned after the matter came to light.
