No Pants SkyTrain Ride returns for fourth year

As if public transit wasn't enough of a breeding ground for diseases. Vancouver's fourth annual No Pants SkyTrain Ride is set for Sunday (January 13).

How does one participate? The organizers at Vancouver Improv Anywhere explain:

Do not talk to others once you enter the Skytrain. No one knows each other. Sit in the car as you normally would. Read a magazine or whatever you would normally do. As soon as the doors shut, stand up and take your pants off and put them in your backpack. If anyone asks you why you’ve removed your pants, tell them that they were “getting uncomfortable” (or something along those lines).

The pants come down at 1 p.m. at Commercial–Broadway Station.
