Passenger defecates on upper deck of 268C bus, forces full evacuation

A man on a crowded long-distance bus from Yuen Long to Kwun Tong could not hold it any longer, removed his pants at the back of the upper deck, and defecated, causing the driver to stop and evacuate all passengers.

The incident happened on January 31 aboard the 268C bus traveling from Long Ping Station to Kwun Tong Ferry Pier. A passenger posted photos of the suspected vehicle on Threads and described the event.

According to accounts, a woman came downstairs to alert the driver that a man upstairs had shouted he urgently needed to defecate, could not wait, went to the rear, and proceeded to relieve himself. 

Passengers from the upper deck rushed down. The driver pulled over and ordered everyone off the bus.

The original poster noted the man was seated near the back window on the left side and stressed it was deliberate defecation after losing control, not an accidental mess. The poster jokingly called themselves someone who had now ridden a “poop bus.”

Fellow passengers and online commenters confirmed similar versions, with some saying they were delayed because of the incident.

Many netizens from the northwestern New Territories expressed sympathy, sharing how frequent long bus commutes, traffic jams at Tuen Mun Road or Ting Kau, and urgent stomach issues make such situations painfully relatable. 

They described the extreme effort required to hold it during heavy congestion and said the man likely suffered greatly despite the mess.

Others recalled their own unpleasant experiences on similar routes like 269C or 61M, where they had seen feces left on seats or witnessed sudden outbursts.

Some suggested buses on long, traffic-prone routes through the northwest should have an emergency toilet cubicle to prevent future occurrences, though others pointed out the risk of misuse would require notifying the driver first.
