It's sure been an interesting week for the Shanghai Metro. Earlier today, Line 1 suffered delays thanks to a stray bunch of balloons. And last Friday, Line 11 passengers were treated to this spectacle:
Yep, that's a crew of foreigners throwing a picnic on the Metro, complete with a foldable table, glasses of wine, paper plates and a baguette. Bon appetit!
According to QQ News, the unnamed diners weren't detained by police because while eating on the Metro is strongly advised against, there apparently aren't any official rules prohibiting people from holding picnics in the cars.
Netizens are already outraged over the feast, with many condemning the foreigners' behavior on social media. Some of the 12,000-plus commenters on the Global Times' Weibo account wondered how the group was able to bring knives onto the Metro.
They aren't the first ones to perform such a stunt either. Last year, a bunch of video bloggers went viral after filming themselves dining, hanging up their clothes and generally making themselves at home on the Guangzhou Metro.
Netizens were none too pleased with that stunt either.
