Since 2002, the no pants subway ride event been becoming popular in different cities of the world. Originally designed for the purpose of crowds’ entertaining and making Subways passengers all around the world happier.
There are some simple rules:
Rule 1) Wear no pants at the platform and/or on the train with the publicly announced route by the event organizers.
Rule 2) Make sure you behave as if you have no idea what NPSR is
Rule 3) Possession of legal document for travelling.
Rule 4) Do not act lewdly, if you make someone angry move on quietly.
Rule 5) If you are camping or below eighteen then you have to produce a written consent from a parent or legal guardian.
The first event was held in 2002 in New York city with only 7 participants. The event has since grown to involving approximately 150 participants of whom eight were arrested but charged were withdrawn later. It becomes even more popular every year, in 2013, there are over 60 cities signed up for it and this year Berlin has done its bit too.
It was very chilly, 4 degrees celsius, but participants dressed casually with smiles on their faces ready to turn the frown of unsuspecting travelers upside down.
