The “Berlin Subway Creatures” Instagram account is dedicated to sharing the most interesting passengers on the city’s public transport and not, unfortunately, found footage of actual underground creatures. So get comfortable as you look through, perhaps on your commute, and be sure to upvote your favorites. We also got in touch with the page’s creator and admin to learn more. More info: Instagram “Like most of the time with these kind of things it started off pretty stupid. Basically, when I moved in 2015 I had a group chat with my friends from my hometown to keep in touch and I was occasionally sending them silly things from the subway in Berlin. I don’t know if they got sick of the messages or whatnot but at some point, someone was like: “Why don’t you make an Instagram and we will all follow it?"” “I just want to give a big shoutout to all the people who have supported the page! Keep liking, and resharing, it always makes me smile to see people make their own captions. I haven’t worked with any brands really, so if there are some nice brands out there that want to support, slide into my DM’s! Because I have literally poured 8 years into this for free, and I have to make rent too!” So it’s little wonder that you can really find a full cross-section of the city’s demographics strewn across metro seats. In 2019, the U-Bahn helped transport 596 million passengers, although that number has actually dropped since the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020. With remote work still going strong, fewer people need to travel every day. But on public transport, particularly a cross-city line, the sky’s the limit. While the time of day does tend to determine what you might come across, it’s worth noting that in big cities, which Berlin absolutely qualifies as there are all sorts of happenings at every hour. As a result, the tedium of sitting on the subway for a few minutes a day can, instead, become a sort of people-watching lottery. Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
