Train surfing
Read More1 / 8
Illegal train passengers "surf" on one of the government-owned metropolitan commuter trains in Rio de Janeiro in this 1988 photograph. Hundreds of people used to take the train without paying before the trains were privatized, in what was considered part sport, and part dare and part commute. The Supervia company took control of Rio commuter railways in 1998, implementing modernization measures, such as the banning of train surfing, line and station improvements and new rail cars.
