Subway systems around the world infected by barely dressed passengers of every stripe

Commuters around the world were subjected to riding the subway alongside half-dressed pranksters of every stripe on Sunday.

Crowds of pants-less passengers converged on transit systems Jan. 8 as part of an annual event that began in New York and has spread to dozens of cities.

In Vancouver, more than 100 men and women reportedly displayed their favourite boxers and bikinis on the SkyTrain, while a few dozen pranksters took part in the event on Toronto's transit system.
