This Instagram Account Collects Funny And Strange Things Spotted On Public Transport (40 Pics)
This page is the best-kept secret of the entire 'Humans of' series. Heck, maybe of the entire internet. Humans of Trolleybuses (Humans of Trūlai) offers a glimpse into the funny side of Lithuanian public transport, and it's really colorful, too. Extravagant clothing, questionable luggage, funny situations, they feature it all.
The creator of the page, Rokas Stasevičius, said he started it after one memorable encounter. Rokas was taking a trolleybus when one of the passengers, a drunk, was smoking inside of it, singing chanson songs and, after being kicked out of the vehicle, waved Rokas goodbye with a smile on his face. This pretty much sums up what content to expect from Humans of Trolleybuses. If you're still not convinced that it's bizarre in the funniest way possible - check the interesting photos below.

“Time spent with cats is never wasted.”
For the most part, Humans of Trolleybuses relies on its community. "At the height of the page's popularity, it was receiving about 15-20 funny photos per day," Rokas told Bored Panda. "To decide if a particular picture is worth a post, I'm trying to figure out whether it would enrich social media or trash it. At first, I consider the originality of the photo/video. It can't be a repost or something lame in general as the idea behind the project is to create unique, independent content that isn't toadying to anything or anyone."
"Ideally, the photo/video makes up for about half of the entire gag. The other half is the caption, so, the more interesting and abstract the image or recording is, the more freedom there is to create a captivating caption."
"The best captions usually come spontaneously, during the first viewing of the submitted material," Rokas added. "If you're overthinking it, it might end up too complex, forced, and only you and a couple more people can understand it. I don't have one rule on how to craft the perfect caption, I just try to feel it out, make it something that compliments the picture/video without overpowering it."
Today is also a tougher period for Humans of Trolleybuses. Rokas attributes the lower number of submissions and posts to the transition the page is making from Facebook to Instagram. "I believe that it's only a matter of time before the project becomes what it recently was."
He thinks that many people are drawn to Humans of Trolleybuses probably because they relate to the trolleybuses themselves. "It doesn't matter how uncomfortable or slow this mode of public transportation is. People sympathize with tit and people need quality content which can also be funny."
Remember stuart little? this is him now. feel old yet?

I can't tell if he didn't notice his shirt was see through in a different lighting, or if he was doing this on purpose. If it is on purpose, I don't know anyone who can pull off this look.
If it's stupid but it works, it ain't stupid

I have a problem with the growing trend of taking someone's photo without their permission and posting it online. It's creepy, invasive and rude.
as a former cosplayer, I can say that people like the plague doctor and the cultist are perfectly cool with it. and usually when you have an interesting animal to take around like a rat or a crow, you are also cool with the attention. and the chick with the cat is obviously fine with it or she would have stopped them, I mean shes facing them and is clearly privvy to it. the one where its just a coincidence that three women are wearing the same clothes on a bus, maybe you have a point, but not likely. most people dont give a fuck.
OK. cosplayer Alan. What is up with cosplayers in a public place screaming at me and my friends about not taking their photos without asking them. I like to take candid photos, and have pretty much been yelled at in a nasty way by these rude people. Now if they would at least use a little civility, I would agree to not bother them.
if youre out in public, theres most likely a camera on you anyway..
That is very true... in public and in all stores.
if faces are not in picture or people in the photo obviously aware of taking it and look like they're ok with that - I think it's fine. About other cases - totally agree
I hate to tell you this, but out in a public place, you have no expectation of privacy - at least in the United States. Yes, people can take your photo and use it any way they want, other than using it to advertise something. Look up "Street Photography"

Don't go outside then
How do you know he didnt ask permission to take their photo?
There are some curious and some funny pictures, but quite a few are really just shaming people. Bored Panda has tons of posts against shaming fat people, against shaming disabled people, against shaming poor people...but shaming people with odd looks on busses is all right...
I'm tired of the word shaming.
funny and strange things is shaming huh? i just think "that is interesting" rather than feeling eww.... or something discouraging

calm down bro. the only 'shaming' I see here, is the hilarity of people inintentionally wearing the same clothing in the same place at the same time. the rest is just "huh, thats kinda interesting."
I don't know man, half of those are just making fun of poor or quirky peoples. Dont find that funny tbh
define making fun of. to me, its taking an interest in. and those people are often happy to have interest taken in them, especially when its their pet or their clothing that makes them interesting.
