It was an unusual case of not tapping on. Metrolinx officials say a man hitched a free ride on a GO train Monday night by riding the outside.
Spokesperson Anne-Marie Akins tweeted an apology to those on the Kitchener line who spotted the stuntman hanging off the side of a moving train.
The stunt, which Akins called “incredibly dangerous, reckless” and “a moronic act,” is illegal and ended in the man’s arrest.
If you saw a guy riding on the outside of a GO locomotive on the Kitchener line this evening—please accept our apologies for having to witness such a moronic act. Incredibly dangerous, reckless & illegal & ended with him being arrested by @GOTransitSSD. Investigation is underway
