Curious experiences in the subway, bus and tram: readers from Munich report
At the beginning of November, I'm taking the S-Bahn into Munich and as we approach the Hackerbrücke, a passenger says: "Ah, it's almost Oktoberfest again!"
(Anakin N.)
A pink unicorn on the S-Bahn in the middle of summer. There was a guy around 16 in there. He must have at least sweated a lot outside the air-conditioned train because it was very hot there
.
(Peter R.)
“A lady flew down the aisle;
“Everyone held their breath.”
Tram 19 slams on the brakes. A small, elderly lady flew down the aisle from back to front. Everyone held their breath. Then a German Shepherd who was sitting at the front with his master jumped up, stood up and hugged the woman so specifically that she came to a stop and nothing happened to her. There was huge applause and a Vienna sausage from one passenger. Unforgettable.

Memorable experiences in Munich’s public transport: “A strange figure in a linen shirt”
Line 191 runs a different route depending on the time of day in Zamdorf. While I'm waiting for the bus, I see from a distance how the bus to Ostbahnhof takes the afternoon route and therefore I have to wait with other passengers for the next bus. When I finally sit on the bus, I see that the 191 in the opposite direction has also taken the wrong route.
A week later I learned from it and got on the 191 two stops earlier.
And I actually speculated correctly because the bus got lost again.

A toddler (maybe a year old) came to my place. It just took my bottle and drank from it. The mother was visibly embarrassed and apologized.
(Jenny P.)
“Jesus”, a strange figure in a linen shirt and barefoot. He drove several times between Puchheim and Pasing in 2003.
After that I never saw him again.
(Tanya D.)
The whole S7 is strange.
