The. Coolest. Train. Ride. Ever.

Submitted by seanlovett on February 1, 2008 - 2:45pm.

If stuff like this would happen on the commuter train here in Portland I would definitely ride it more often!

Instead, we have games like "guess who's about to get stabbed!", "figure out what the drunk homeless guy next to you is saying", and "what's that smell?"

Click the link below to watch the video. It's only a couple of minutes long.

Coolest train ride ever!

Imagine doing something that will brighten everyone's day - just for no reason at all. Well, besides to brighten someone's day! Very cool indeed! Ya, I never saw that on a subway. Just a crazy homeless guy who was convinced I'd stolen his treasure!

did you steal his treasure? You know, you holding a coke can could be considered stealing his treasure...

Come and see what I'm rambling about now

An Avon bag! LOL I'd tried and given up on selling Avon many years ago, and the stuff was the left over crap I'd bought to sell. I was taking it to a women's shelter outside of Manhattan. If that was his treasure - dude REALLY had some problems!

i got stuck taking the tri met train here in pdx once upon a time when my old car outta college practically blew up on me. i'll never forget sitting across the aisle from a girl that looked all of 15 with a preschool aged little boy next to her and listening to her talk to him and her friend using expletives every other word, then casually mentioning that her son's dad just got released from prison. at this point a man that was sitting in front of them turned around and asked "which prison? i just got out too. i might know him."

i swore off public transpo in portland after that one. it was like being on a jerry springer set. the "what's the smell" thing was another reason.

i've taken commuter trains all over the world but for some reason my most disturbing and horrific rides have been in good ol USA. except for one subway ride in paris where i got stuck a few feet away from a homeless guy who had very obviously crapped his pants and was also sitting in a pool of his own urine.

I'm so glad you're here to back me up on this. I don't want people to think I'm just making stuff up.

The funniest thing I've ever seen on the MAX was at the 188th "Rockwood" stop. A couple of latino teens were watching this kid from the moment he got on the train at the 7th ave (lloyd center) stop. When 188th came up, one of them got up and blocked the doors from closing. The other went up to the kid from 7th and grabbed a plastic shopping bag from him and then they both ran off the train.

Everyone was going "oh my god! he just got robbed!" But, the kid sat there laughing. Come to find out, when he got on the train, he had a whole bunch of CD's that he had just bought. While on the train, he had been taking the CD's out of their jewel cases and putting them into a leather CD holder that he had with him. The reason he was laughing was because these two guys ended up stealing his trash! All they got were empty jewel cases, an empty coke bottle, and a snickers wrapper.

It was great!

This is so cool! The trains here in Atlanta are pretty decent I must say. I remember once I was stuck sitting with this group of college aged kids and the young girls were flirting and telling the guys that there were "all kinds of creams and lotions to enhance their sex lives blablabla" And so just as I got up to exit the train I looked at these kids and said "If you need to use cream or lotions, then you are not doing something right" The look on their faces as the train doors closed was PRICELESS! *Sigh*

it would be just one more reason to vote for him. I know what you mean about the stupid kids. We have the same problem here.

One time I just sat there listening to the different conversations a group of them were having and I couldn't believe how asinine it all was. I hoped that I did not sound like them when I was their age and I wept a little for the future. Truly tragic...
