The No Pants Subway Ride is an annual event staged by Improve Everywhere every January in New York City. The mission started as a small prank with seven guys and has grown into an international celebration of silliness, with dozens of cities around the world participating each year. The idea behind No Pants is simple: Random passengers board a subway car at separate stops in the middle of winter without pants. The participants do not behave as if they know each other, and they all wear winter coats, hats, scarves, and gloves. The only unusual thing is their lack of pants.The 13th Annual No Pants Subway Ride took place on January 12, 2014 in over 60 cities in over 25 countries around the world.

Seit 2002 wird jährlich im

Januar die Aktion No Pants Subway Ride in der New York

City Subway durchgeführt. Die

Teilnehmer fahren in den

Zügen in normaler

Alltagskleidung aber ohne

Hosen mit. Die Reaktionen der

Passanten werden von dritten

verdeckt oder offen gefilmt.

In anderen amerikanischen und

europäischen Städten fand die

Aktion Nachahmer.
