A man, who works as a bus driver, has become famous in China after photos showing him driving expensive cars to work spread online.

People have speculated that the man is probably a 'tuhao' (a nouveau rich man) hiding his vast wealth by living as a normal working man. The unidentified man was seen driving a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo to work in Taiyuan in north China's Shanxi province, while wearing his bus driver's uniform.

At times, the unnamed man would also drive a blue Audi R8 to work, instead of riding the commuter bus. Despite that, that the man sees himself as an average person, routinely making his way to work - with the only exception that he goes to work in supercars.

Netizens have been blown away by pictures of the bus driver making his way to work in luxury cars.

"Those luxury cars cost millions of RMB, where is he getting all that money from?" one netizen asked on Weibo.

Other netizens made fun of what they saw. "Give me two cars like that and I'll drive a bus too," wrote a commenter.

Others, however, argued that the man should just resign from driving a bus. After all, he already owns expensive cars, and bus driving could benefit others who need to earn money desperately.

Driving Cars

If driving supercars on the streets makes the bus driver man happy, driving a race car down the streets in Pudong New Area apparently made another man unhappy before he was apprehended by police for road violations.

The man named Feng was caught driving a specialized type of car that's banned from public roads. Police saw him cruising as he attempted to take the car to the nearby Broad Auto Theme Park.

Police chased the race car on the Houtan Road and were able to successfully pull it over at Guozhan Road. In addition to driving a race car in prohibited areas, the car also lacked a license plate. The driver, for his part, was wearing slippers as he drove the vehicle, violating another rule.

Police said Feng's license will be revoked, and he will lose all 12 penalty points. The car has also been detained until legal procedures are completed.
