It's always a treat when my numerous Google Alerts unearth a worlds colliding, Costanza-esque gem like this: in Romania, specifically Gheorghe's hometown of Cluj, you can apparently ride public transportation for free if you do 20 squats. That's right, exercising 'dem glutes gets you a free route.
"Budget-minded backpackers, take note, and the same goes for health-conscious travelers — in the past few years, Romania has rolled out innovative programs to promote physical fitness. In the city of Cluj-Napoca, you can even parlay a quick bit of exercise into a free ride on public transit. At kiosks around town, you can do twenty squats instead of paying for a bus ticket."
Honestly, this entire post could've just been this picture:

I assume the kiosk yells “Deep knee beeends!” while you earn the ride.
