A Turkey Found A Unique Way To Ride ‘The Rapid’ Bus For Free
I often took the Silverline to GRCC during my college days, doing homework during the ride. One day, I forgot my wallet and risked boarding without paying. Karma caught up with me: I was thrown off halfway, missed class, and had to call my dad.

Ultimately, it wasn't worth the gamble. However, someone (or rather, something) has figured out a new strategy to get free rides on the bus without anyone noticing. You just have to be willing to climb onto the bus without anyone knowing, as someone caught a turkey riding on the top of the Rapid in a new TikTok video going viral.
Turkey Takes A Trip
Yesterday, a TikTok user named atbluegreen posted a video of a Rapid bus with a guest who absolutely did not pay their bus fare. But you almost have to admire this turkey's ingenuity because it took the bus in a way few have before: by riding on the roof.
It's honestly impressive that the turkey stays on board as the bus picks up speed. In fact, the turkey looked like it was having the time of its life on there, spreading its wings. This video was filmed at the corner of Burton and Breton, leading commenters to assume it shows the turkey the community affectionately calls Gary, a turkey known to hang out in the area.
Even though riding on the outside of the bus worked for this thunder chicken, it's probably best to make your commute inside , like normal.
