Hilarious Encounters That'll Make You Rethink Your Bus Ride

Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts (if you are lucky enough to find one) as we are about to travel over the most unusual, most funny encounters ever seen on public transportation! Imagine being on your regular commute when all of a sudden the person next to you pulls out a full-sized keyboard and begins writing a symphony. Alternatively, consider the moment a group of mimes chose to secretly replicate a whole action movie in the middle of a packed bus. From the woman who treats the train like her personal runway to the man who believes rush hour is the ideal venue for a magic show, these tales will make your regular commute look somewhat plain in comparison. But wait—there is more! Stories of unannounced animal passengers, spontaneous singing contests, and even a few touching events abound that will help you to regain confidence in people (even public transit). You'll learn about the epic tale of the "Subway Knitting Circle" that somehow produced a garment spanning three whole cars and the time a flock of escaping parrots turned a tranquil train ride into a tropical carnival. We even have the fable of the "Bus Barista," who converted a broken-down bus into a pop-up café featuring latte art! So, if you can find a seat, relax (should your neighbor not be practicing the tuba), and savor this exciting voyage across the erratic terrain of public transit!

Sad Joker commuting on the subway. On a usually ordinary metro car, this fascinating picture catches a weird and slightly sad scenario. The picture probably shows someone costumed like the legendary Batman villain, the Joker, but with a twist: instead of the character's usual insane smile, this Joker shows great gloom. There is a strong visual juxtaposition created by the sad attitude against the vibrant, disorderly outfit. The sensation of isolation would be enhanced by fellow travellers perhaps showing the character a wide berth. The strong fluorescent lighting of the subway car could intensify the Joker's dramatic makeup, therefore stressing the contradiction between his look and his feelings. This picture is a moving meditation on the sometimes invisible hardships behind the masks we wear in public, literally and symbolically. It might inspire viewers to think about the humanity beneath even the most ridiculous characters and the universal essence of melancholy that can strike everyone, regardless of their outer look.
