The video of the incident has gone viral on the internet.
The video posted on the micro-blogging site Twitter by Shubh opens to show a yellow coloured DTC bus parked in the middle of the road that has caused traffic jam on the route. After a while the driver appears with a cup of tea and heads back to the bus as vehicles behind it keep honking.
The person making the video can be heard saying that the driver has got off from his bus at the famous ‘Sudama Tea Stall’ near the Kamla Nagar market, close to Delhi university.
Since being posted on January 2, the video has amassed 137.1k views and 3,283 likes.

“This is very common and irritating in Delhi. Bus drivers stop in the middle of the road for Food, water, chai, liquor etc., without worrying about the traffic. This is common because no one stops them,” wrote another user.
