The kid who wrote this answer to a test question must LOVE to dance! Of course he/she could also have been ‘brainwashed’ by his parents or he/she just saw one of the Madagascar movies! 🙂

Public transport is by definition not cool 😉 , the Danes though have succeeded in adding some coolness to public transport. ‘Some’ coolness?? Well, watch the Youtube video below and you will agree; this is *the* most epic ad for public transportation ever created! I guess you too will be practicing to say “I am cool” in Danish. (“Jeg er cool.” 🙂 )

Well, that was three years ago, recently the Danish public transit company Midttrafik released the sequel…must admit, the bus is COOL!! 🙂
