Yesterday around 1 p.m., a driver for Autobuses de Oriente (ADO) was recorded driving at high speed on the Cuacnopalan-Oaxaca highway while scrolling on his cellphone. The video, shared on X by user @memocrata, sparked outrage due to the dangerous behavior displayed behind the wheel.

The post read: “Tres pesos de madre para este conductor de ADO, se dio en la Cuacnopalan – #Oaxaca autobús salió de la verde Antequera alrededor de la una de la tarde de ayer. 😡 Luego porque hay accidentes de estos animales,” highlighting the frustration over reckless driving that often leads to accidents.

This incident raises concerns about passenger safety and the responsibility of transportation companies to ensure their drivers maintain focus on the road. As public transit options like cable cars and teleféricos gain attention for their safety and efficiency, incidents like this underscore the need for stricter oversight and investment in safer, more reliable transport systems.
