New York citizens were spotted in the city,without any pants on. The 15th Annual No Pants subway Ride kicked off at 3:00 p.m. and had participants strut their stuff from seven different points all over New York City only to eventually meet in Union Square.

In 2002, the event began in Newyork city, with seven members of the improvisational group, Improv Everywhere, known for their flash mobs, boarding the subway without trousers.

150 people had joined the event by 2006, feeling the draft as they rode the train without trousers.

Hundreds of cheeky travellers across the globe rode trains, tubes and subways on Sunday, with no trousers on as a part of the 'No Pants Subway Ride' day.

Ten years on, the fad has spread to countries like Germany, Czech Republic and The UK, proving the trouserless train ride is still alive and well.

'No Pants Subway Ride' is always planned in winter, and last year 4,000 people participated in NYC alone.

Certain countries are not in favour of the leggy ride. In countries like Latvia officials tried to ban the fad, but after the story came out in the media, Latvians were able to board the trains sans trousers.
