Footage on social media showed the two people, appearing to be young men or boys, holding onto the back of a moving double-decker to hitch a free ride. The video was captured on Mollison Way in Burnt Oak, Edgware. The duo jumped off the bus once the vehicle was forced to stop, and they concealed their faces after noticing they were being filmed, with one using his hand to shield his identity and the other pulling up his hood.
75 for a single journey when using contactless or an Oyster card. 75 no matter how far you go. Users online have condemned the pair for their dangerous stunt.
Transport for London and British Transport Police referred Metro to the Metropolitan Police. The Metropolitan Police told Metro it did not have a log of the incident in its system. The identities of the two people who clung to the bus have not been confirmed, and it is unknown whether they were arrested or faced any legal consequences.
Why the bus was forced to stop remains unclear, and it is not known if this incident caused any injuries or damage.
