An enraged commuter walked out into the street to block a bus in protest of it failing to stop for rail strike commuters.

A large number of people waiting for the 123 bus to Lordship Lane/Downhills Way at an undisclosed bus stop in London.

However, after the bus failed to stop, one man became enraged and was seen throwing his arms around and shouting in a foreign language at the bus driver.

The bus in issue was overcrowded, which explains why it was unable to pick up any passengers at the bus stop.

Other people in the video found the humor in it all and can be heard laughing at the irate man’s expense in the background.

‘Since 6.30am waiting for a bus yet the buses are still passing without stopping,’ David captioned the video on Twitter. Because to the #RailStrikes, my patients and coworkers are still waiting for me.

‘On top of that, we’re not authorized to strike.’

‘And my pay is far lower than the strikers’. ‘The country requires a change.’

The main road was either stopped or moving very slowly at the moment, as people from all across the capital took to the roadways in their cars due to the recent rail strikes.

A live road map from this morning revealed how busy London’s roads are compared to typical, as well as how much of the tube has come to a halt.

While traffic had subsided during the morning rush, city centers and stretches of the M1, A4, and A40 in outside London were remained busier than usual.

In a heated dispute over pay, jobs, and conditions, almost 40,000 members of the Rail, Maritime, and Transport (RMT) union voted to strike.

Last-ditch negotiations failed to end the dispute, with both sides blaming one other for the lack of progress.

Only a quarter of all trains are running today, and half of the lines are closed, with the network shutting down at 6.30 p.m.

Many parts of the UK, including much of Scotland and Wales, all of Cornwall and Dorset, and cities like Chester, Hull, Lincoln, and Worcester, will have no passenger trains at all.
