A young Nigerian lady, @justrose_eee, took to TikTok to share a disturbing incident that occurred on a public bus she boarded while returning from work. The encounter left her struggling to breathe and sparked mixed reactions online.
“I almost ran out of breath in a public bus while coming back from work,” @justrose_eee captioned her TikTok video. “I was so uncomfortable and frustrated. People need to respect personal space, especially in public transportation.”
In the clip, a female passenger is seen with her arms raised, appearing to encroach on @justrose_eee’s personal space. Although the passenger’s face is partially obscured, some viewers felt that sharing the video may have compromised her anonymity.
“I was shocked and scared,” @justrose_eee explained in the comments. “I didn’t know what to do. I just wanted to get off the bus as quickly as possible.”
@justrose_eee’s experience is majorly about the need for respect and consideration among commuters in public transportation. Some fans have reacted to the post.
