Moscow’s Stray Dogs Use Public Transit
by Amanda Arnold | April 22, 2010
A lot of people visit Moscow for the Kremlin, but I’d like to visit Moscow for the stray dogs.
There are 500 stray dogs that live in Moscow’s subway system, and about 20 of the most intelligent have learned how to ride the trains to get from place to place. So, if you’re touring Moscow and you line up to catch the metro, don’t be surprised if a dog boards the train with everyone else, curls up on a seat beside you and then exits at a particular station — as if he/she has some important place to be. ‘Cause maybe he/she does.
Personal rapid transport combines the best traits of subways and taxis, and costs less to build than light rail. Could this be the future of transportation? Check out this HowStuffWorks podcast and learn more about personal rapid transport.
