Pigeons Ride Stockholm Subway
”They stand calmly at the platform and wait for the subway train to arrive. When it does they get on, travel one stop, jump off and then head for their favourite haunts,” Rasmus Sandsten, press spokeperson for underground operator MTR, told The Local.
The pigeons are believed to live somewhere near Farsta Strand, in south Stockholm, and travel daily one stop to nearby shopping centre Farsta Centrumwhere there are many cafés and plenty of food to be found.
According to Sandsten, the most likely explanation is that one pigeon first got stuck on the metro by accident.
”Then, when it saw where it ended up it thought; ‘this was a great idea’. Sooner or later more of them followed suit,” Sandsten said.
However, the birds seem to choose other methods of transport for their return journey.
