The Singapore MRT system and its ever-growing network ferry residents to every corner of the country every day.
While unique sights are not uncommon on MRTs, probably no one would expect to see a rat ‘hitching a ride’ on the train.

Various videos of the unlikely hitchhiker were uploaded on social media recently, each with a dose of confusion.
In one of the videos, the seated passengers unanimously lifted their legs up to let the rodent pass, almost like a mini Kallang Wave.
According to the TikTok videos uploaded on Friday (28 Apr), the rodent seemed to have hitched a ride on an East-West Line train sometime in the afternoon.
This video shows the seated passengers nonchalantly looking at the little critter scoot around the cabin.
Some of them casually lift their legs up as though it was a frequent scenario.

When the rodent approached the end of the cabin, a woman in red squirmed and lifted her feet onto the train seats.

Compare that reaction with the previous one, and you’d wonder how the other passengers maintained their cool.
In another video, the rat was seen at a busier section of the train.
As it got close to the seats, the passengers, almost like a choreographed group, lifted their legs in a synchronised manner.
At the end of the video, the rat almost bumped into one of the passengers before the man moved away swiftly.

In one of the videos, the OP shared that several station staff had looked for the critter at one of the MRT stations.
However, it’s unclear what happened to the rat after its short cameo on the train.
