A motorbike taxi driver working for Indonesian transport app Gojek, piled up 90 durians on his motorbike for a delivery job.
You know it’s durian season when there’s this kind of rush order on the spiky fruit going down.
A photo and video posted to Instagram on Feb. 4 by the account @Gojeklombok have gone viral of Hermantino, a Gojek driver in Bali’s neighboring island Lombok, balancing on his automatic scooter with all the durians stacked high.
Hermantino only agreed to the challenging job as a part of the app’s courier service because business had been quiet and he didn’t have a lot of passenger requests at the moment, the manager of the @Gojeklombok account explained, when contacted by Kumparan.
In the picture, you can see Hermantino is sandwiched between a bundle of the pungent fruit on his bike’s floorboard and another bundle balanced on the back of his seat, while in the video you can see him struggling to get balanced with the massive load! Let’s just hope he was wearing a cup and whatever the back-end equivalent is!
Referred to regionally as the “King of Fruits” durian is polarizing for its strong odor.
We hope for his sake (and the sake of his future passengers) he immediately burned his clothes afterwards and requested a new uniform from Gojek.
