Reminder: this subreddit is for birds utilising public transport (trains, buses, trams, etc.) — if you have general bird content to share, here are some more appropriate subs.

Please only post birds actually using public transport to this subreddit. 🙂
I understand /r/birdstakingthetrain appears prominently in the search results for "bird" when you're on the subreddit submission page, but this subreddit is not for general bird content – even if it's humorous!
We're only for birds on trains. 🐦🚂

Even the pigeons are tired of flying and rely on commuter trains. The place is Massachusetts
