Cheeky monkey started engine of bus that then crashed into two parked vehicles

A monkey in the city of Bareilly, northern India, got into a parked bus, started the engine and put it into gear on Monday afternoon. The driver managed to regain control but not before the vehicle had hit two other buses parked nearby.
The unusual turn of events began when the conductor of an Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) bus from Pilibhit left the vehicle at the bus station to look for passengers. With half an hour to wait before departure, the driver decided to take a quick nap. While the driver reclined on the back seat, the monkey suddenly appeared.
It climbed inside the driver's cabin and managed to start the engine with the ignition key that was still in its slot. The driver, waking up, rushed towards the cabin and tried to chase the animal away. The panicked animal then knocked the vehicle into gear before jumping out. According to UPSRTC regional manager SK Sharma.: "The driver managed to regain control of the bus but not before it hit two other parked buses.

"Monkeys have become a regular menace at bus stations and workshops, where they often fiddle with vehicles undergoing repair. They have also damaged CCTV cameras at stations. Three years back we had taken the help of municipal authorities to get rid of them but they have returned," Sharma added. The manager stated that UPSRTC is holding talks with municipal authorities to requisition the services of an agency to catch the monkeys from around the bus station and transfer them elsewhere.
