"Hey you with the ram on your shoulders!"
Prior to the start of Kurban Bayramı (Feast of Sacrifice), a
citizen with a sacrificial ram tried to enter the Yenibosna
metrobus station. Despite warnings from the security staff
there, the citizen passed through the entrance with the ram
on his shoulders.
"What?"
Amid the astonished stares of those waiting at the stop, the
citizen boarded the Zincirlikuyu-bound metrobus with the ram.
Some riders petted the ram, while others reacted negatively,
prompting the citizen to note that "this is the way it used to be.
What makes you think it's strange?"
