Russians Caught Trying to Cross Bridge in Cardboard Bus

Youtube

When in doubt, pretend to be a bus.

A video posted Monday on YouTube showed four pairs of legs sticking out of a cardboard yellow bus navigating traffic on Zolotoy Bridge in the Far East port city of Vladivostok. The bridge, which was built in preparation for an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in 2012, has been closed for pedestrian traffic following inspections since 2015.

“Where did they come from?” a young woman’s voice behind the camera is heard saying and giggling. “This is beautiful, it’s art.”

A traffic police officer is seen “pulling over” the makeshift vehicle and forcing it to make a “U-turn.”

“Why are they kicking them out?” the voice says as the traffic officer escorts the “bus drivers.”

… we have a small favor to ask.
