Metro: This Instagram account may catch you snoozing on transit

Late night post-work SkyTrain rides. Catching early morning flights out of YVR via the Canada Line. After drinks bus rides. The morning after an all-nigh study session.

The biggest complaint during consultation came at the recommended cancellation of the 480 bus to University of B.C. However, TransLink will now recommend keeping the 480. File photo

Late night post-work SkyTrain rides. Catching early morning flights out of YVR via the Canada Line. After drinks bus rides. The morning after an all-nigh study session. Just plain being sleepy while using public transit in Vancouver can lead to seat napping. It happens.

But did you know there’s an Instagram account dedicated to sharing photos of people caught slumbering on Vancouver public transit? Up and running since January 2014 (but dormant since mid-2016, pun intended), that’s still a lot of anonymous chronicling of our public dozing off on the SeaBus, SkyTrain, and countless buses.

From full-on stretched out across street sessions to plenty of mouths agape, and a few curious choices of positioning and states of undress in between, @dreaminontransit is both amusing and mortifying. Head over and take a full gander yourself…and see if you can spot yourself, too.

Oh, and don’t forget to indulge in a look at this series of IG pics of people #runningfortheseabus.
