When you get on the train and it turns out you’re both wearing the same thing

What are the chances of that happening?

It turns out there IS an explanation, and it’s not “photoshop”. At least, we don’t think so. Over to Ayy_2_Brute on Reddit.

“Quick explanation: this is on an Australian bus. The company that used to operate the bus service was known for their seat designs (you can even see the company name in the logo, but I can’t remember what the name is and cant be bothered to figure it out).

“That company eventually went out of business and most of the famous seat designs (which are really just designed to obscure the obscene amount of dirt on them) went as well. After that, a t-shirt company decided to cash in on the nostalgia factor and sell t-shirts with the seat design on them. And since not all the buses have had their seats replaced, every now and then we get moments like this one.”

Which makes total sense, right? Except for one thing. Everyone else is pretty sure the photo was taken on a train, not a bus.

Maybe Lichenic has the answer.

“This explanation is nearly right. It’s actually a train, the operator used to be Connex, they lost the contract and all Connex branding had to be removed from stations and trains. It was decided that the seat design obscured the word ‘Connex’ well enough so no action was taken, they are still around on all trains that originally had them (Comeng and Xtrapolis models) and as far as I know they were never removed from any trains.
