Just Another Day on the Train Without Pants

Hundreds of people hopped on SEPTA Sunday with their bottoms halves bare.

By Bob Byrne

Thousands of people in dozens of cities around the globe took to public transportation on Sunday to ride their local railways without pants. Plenty of SEPTA riders got an eyeful.

2014 marked the 13th annual Ride the Subway Without Pants Event in Philadelphia. If you missed it, don't worry.  You could still ride SEPTA in your skivvies if you feel the need. 

According to one leader of the Philly ride, highlighted in a Youtube video of a WPHL TV17 report, "The State of Pennsylvania does allow you to walk around without pants, as long as your underwear is fully covering your privates."  

That is indeed a relief and good news for both military platoon leaders and anyone considering taking part in pant-less subway or other public transit rides.

So... Would you take a ride on SEPTA without pants?
