Light Rail No Pants Day

Thursday, January 14 2010 13:20

phoenix light rail customers have done it again, marking a second anniversary for the Phoenix light rail ‘No Pants Day’. Nearly 300 phoenix light rail riders chose to make their trips to work or school a little breezier. We often discuss all of the advantages of Phoenix light rail for renters of Phoenix apartments, but some light rail lovers really have more fun with it than others. Members of the group Improv AZ coordinated the second annual day of fun on the Phoenix Light Rail. Depending on who you are stuck next to, this could either make your light rail commute go much faster or drag on like an eternity, but either way it stirs up a lot of attention for the Phoenix light rail and a lot of folks had a blast doing it.

We can’t really give them all of the credit though, the idea was originally started in New York City by a group called Improv Everywhere. There most recent ‘No Pants Day’ in New York City boasted some 3,000 participants, but hey, 10% of that isn’t bad for Phoenix’s second year playing along.

While some may be a little shocked to look over and see a person to their right sans pants, it is a creative idea and also generates a little more buzz about Phoenix light rail, which continues to gain adopters at a brisk pace. Anything that gains attention and helps to increase clean affordable transportation for tenants in Phoenix apartments is a solid step in the right direction.

Will this get you to take the plunge? Try taking Phoenix light rail a couple times a week and see if you can make the change, you might find you like it. Try leaving the car at your apartment and either riding your bike or walking to the Light rail station twice a week for a couple of months, at the end I bet you will find that you have saved some money and lost at least 5 pounds. Not only that, you will gain some more time each day to do other things you traditionally couldn’t do on your commute. But you might want to leave your pants on the other 364 days a year.
