Spike in reckless 'selfie stunts' on Sydney trains during lockdown - Sydney Morning Herald

Sydney Trains has recorded more than 2600 incidents of trespassing in the past 12 months, prompting NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance to plead with the public to stop risking their lives to “chase social media likes”.

Some of the CCTV footage of the incidents reveals people jumping onto the back of trains and riding them through Sydney’s transport network.

Another 1900 slips, trips and falls were recorded on the rail network, including people falling between the carriage and platform, across the tracks or sliding down stairs.
