Why fly when you can ride? Pigeon is caught riding a Sydney train across the city

A bold pigeon baffled commuters when he walked off a train in Sydney’s CBD after travelling through the bustling city.

The small bird managed to make its way on the City Circle line as the train travelled from Central Station to Wynyard.  

The video opens with the pigeon calmly hopping up the stairs as the train waits at the platform.

He then paces toward the open doors and stops for a moment before politely ‘minding the gap’ and hopping off the train.

The video was posted to Reddit with ‘I legit just watched this little dude travel from Central to Wynyard’ sprawled across it. 

Many people were quick to point out the pigeon was able to use the service for free, as he wasn’t seen carrying an Opal card.

‘Where’s his opal card though?’ one user commented. 

Another person joked that animals were getting away with free services: ‘Animals are such freeloaders’. 

‘Thought I saw an Opal card under his wing,’ another person said.

Other users joked that the bird even managed to ‘mind the gap’, as it’s written on the platform in front of him.

‘HE EVEN MINDS THE GAP,’ one person wrote.

‘He’s better than some of the humans using transit,’ another user replied.

Some noted that with Sydney’s scorching weather, they may want some relief from the sun.

‘Even the birds are too hot to walk,’ one user said. 

This isn’t the first time a pigeon has been caught using Sydney’s train network, with two other images being posted to Reddit within the past month.
