[Paraphrase: Copenhagen bus driver Mukhtar makes a stop, where a man in a tuxedo gets on the crowded bus and begins playing a trumpet. Mukhtar, filmed from the front by the bus' security camera, looks confused. Then a woman begins to sing a birthday song; it is his birthday! He laughs. Others on the bus begin to sing. Then almost the whole bus is singing happy birthday to Mukhtar. He drives on, and comes to a group of people in the road who appear to be protesting. He stops and honks the horn. They turn around and begin to chant his name and cheer. Their signs bear his name. The people on the bus sing more loudly. Mukhtar grins in disbelief. His friends run to the bus and bring him flowers and presents. He looks over the scene with tears in his eyes.]
The hat tip goes to Shaker Charlotte, who credits Zee, who explains: "For those who might consider it a fake, I'd think twice, it's actually a well planned event by Arriva (a European bus company). They've done a number of these style events to make a better work environment for their bus drivers in Copenhagen."
