FARE JUMPER
Shocking moment daredevil commuter jumps out of a tree to hitch a free ride on the roof of a double-decker bus
He climbs from a tree onto the bus and then rides it for a few minutes around south London before climbing down
A FEARLESS man has posted footage of himself climbing onto a double decker bus and surfing it around south London.
The man, known only as 'dying llama' on social media, describes himself as a "urban explorer" and seems to have found a risky way of moving around the city for free.

The video, apparently filmed "a while back" but posted yesterday, starts with him stood in a tree before he leaps on to the roof of a stationary London bus and lying down.
He laughs audibly as the bus pulls off but after it pulls in at a bus stop he climbs back into a nearby tree.
It looks like his trip is over, but he waits until the bus starts to move again and jumps back onto it.
He urges it to "go, go, go" as he continues the perilous journey.
He then stands up and laughs as he does so, waving to people walking on the pavements below, who understandably look surprised and confused to see a man standing on top of a double decker bus.
He lies back down as the bus speeds up before saying to himself excitedly "yo, what the f***!"
A shadow which falls on the roof of the bus shows he is wearing the camera on his head to film the dangerous escapades.

The bus pulls in at a bus stop near an entrance to Elephant and Castle station and he stands up to wave at the crowd of people waiting for public transport.
He laughs and waves, but they give barely any response to him - possibly suggesting it is not the strangest thing they have seen in the streets of London.
After the bus navigates the large roundabout it again pulls in and the man crawls to the edge of the roof and climbs down swiftly.

He jumps down onto the pavement, surprising a man in a suit looking to board the bus, and runs off laughing.
His previous YouTube videos show he has climbed the O2 arena, presumably without permission, and taken on scaling a crane.
Comments on the videos range from praising his efforts to chastising him for carrying out dangerous and illegal adventures.
A Transport for London spokesperson said: “This was idiotic. The police are now investigating".
