According to CTV News Montreal, a bus that got stuck in the snow in Montreal was given a helping hand by some Good Samaritans with 4×4 SUVs.

The bus got stuck on a steep hill right outside the station, and because of the buildup of snow and ice, couldn’t get enough inertia to push itself up the hill.

Buses are also rear-wheel-drive, so that doesn’t help.

Buses can weigh up to 44,000 pounds when fully loaded, so there was nothing working in its favour, here.

That’s a when a bunch of SUVs kitted up in 4×4 garb decided to show up and lend some assistance to the stranded city bus. In order to give themselves the best chance of pulling the bus, the three SUVs chained themselves together to offer three times the traction and power to pull the bus up the hill.

There isn’t much information about the do-gooders, but there are rumours they are a group of off-road enthusiasts, so something like this was pretty standard.

The lineup of vehicles appears to be a grey Toyota Sequoia, a black Toyota 4Runner, and a red Jeep. All three vehicles obviously have all-wheel-drive, and use it to their best advantage.

Eventually, the bus is pulled all the way up the hill, saving the day and helping people get to work on time.
