No Pants Subway Ride 2017: See photos...

Apparently today is the '16th annual No Pants Subway Ride'. What does that even mean? It's an annual prank that sees some straphangers shed bottom layers.
The event, which was first created by Improve Everywhere members in 2002, started out as a short improve clip and has evolved into an international spectacle with cities like Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and Montreal participating in the annual affair that requires passengers to randomly ride the subway wearing all their winter gear except for pants.
More than 1,000 New Yorkers are expected to participate in this year's NYC branch of a global event that includes 30 cities, including London and Prague, per the organizers.

The No Pants Subway Ride, first held in 2002 by the Improve Everywhere comedy collective in New York City, is taking place from San Diego to Jerusalem this year.
Participants board a subway train in typical winter attire from the waist up, and carry on conversations with their pants-less conspirators as if nothing was amiss.
