The bus now known as ‘the leaning bus of Sydney’ has gone viral after hundreds of people were left assuming the problem was due to too many passengers.

Video footage shared on Dash Cam Owners Australia titled ‘'Yo mama so fat she had to get her own bus', shows the vehicle struggling to pull out of a stop as its left side hangs low towards the road.

The driver doesn’t seem to care that there’s an obvious sink going on in the back, as they pull up to an intersection in Ryde.

The problem has since been determined as a result of faulty hydraulics, not overweight or too many commuters.

However that didn’t stop people jumping in with their own theories.

“It’s too many passengers to one side,” one commenter said.

Brian Timms said it was no wonder ‘everyone chose to drive in Sydney’ as he felt there was a clear lack of maintenance on public transport.

Others slammed the driver for failing to pull over to safety.
