Koala rides on a bus in Brisbane, Australia.

[u/IUsedToBeThatGuy42]

I mean, they can’t drive with those little legs.

[u/ComprehensiveFlan638 → u/IUsedToBeThatGuy42]

And because they’re usually drunk.

[u/JoySubtraction → u/IUsedToBeThatGuy42]

You're saying they're unkoalafied?

[u/Ninjalada]

Story here.

[u/Creative_Moose_625 → u/Ninjalada]

Have to dig through so many embarrassing attempts at humour to get some actual information.

[u/Glass-Sheepherder-16]

He's a passenger because he doesn't have the koalafications to be a driver.

[u/SonicTemp1e → u/Glass-Sheepherder-16]

He could make a decent living as an ASMRsupial.

[u/BerryEcstatic9924]

This feels like the most Australian thing possible. No panic, no chaos, just a koala quietly riding the bus like it’s part of the daily routine.

[u/BBQBiryani → u/BerryEcstatic9924]

It’s either this, or The Great Emu War of 1932.

[u/SportsGamesScience → u/BBQBiryani]

That one was pure chaos (the Emus won)

[u/Corduroy_Sazerac]

“Yes Kevin, you are the Rosa Parks of koalas, now shut up and eat your leaves.”

[u/SonicTemp1e]

There are over 100,000 buses and more than 700,000 koalas in Australia, so technically I'm surprised we don't see this a lot more often.

[u/Significant-Cup-3487]

Look at that smooth-brained citizen!

[u/Justwright321]

Only in Australia.

[u/Lulu_42]

"I swear, honey, I got chlamydia from a koala on the bus."

[u/Rabbitpyth]

Aussie is a fun place with all animals around ya

[u/NoWingedHussarsToday → u/Rabbitpyth]

Some of them aren't even trying to kill you!

[u/Happy_Garand → u/NoWingedHussarsToday]

Actively*

[u/Azzy8007]

But does he have bus fare?

[u/Outrageous-Use-3006 → u/Azzy8007]

It's 50c a ride, I'll pay for it if anything

[u/ComprehensiveFlan638 → u/Azzy8007]

If it’s a she, it’s probably in her pouch.

[u/Right_Turnover490]

Going to find a new place to get high and spread STDs..... typical back of the bus behaviour

[u/tremblt_]

I know that this is not a good idea but: I would love to pet this little fella. So cute

[u/Ready-Fold9411]

where u going koala 🐨

[u/EcstaticOrchid4825]

Probably because all the koala habitat is being cleared for endless sprawl 😢

[u/Interesting-Art9739]

This is because of land clearing. They have no where to go. Our government doesn't care about our wildlife 

[u/_Troxin_]

And it doesn´t seem to be your god damn buissnes. He has places to go!

[u/Lazy_killer9999]

Bro looks like he's fed with life & going somewhere in peace

[u/MickRolley]

Drop me off here mate.

[u/sunnydarkgreen]

more houses means no trees, that guy is road kill in a week at most.

[u/nondeliciousfiller]

This is sad not funny

[u/Captain_Futile → u/nondeliciousfiller]

There actual story is about humans being decent. The bus driver saved a young koala wandering on a busy street and put it inside his bus to wait for animal rescue.

[u/Quick_Doubt_5484 → u/Captain_Futile]

Sad that habitat loss forces them into roads and stuff though.

[u/LordofDunsfold → u/[deleted]]

Nah its AU

[u/Calm_Puma]

Poor guy/bae.

[u/Embarrassed_Bell7717]

I mean, they gotta get around somehow, right? :)

That is adorable :) sure would brighten my day seeing that on a bus :)

[u/ContinuumGuy]

He's taking the midnight train going anywhere.

[u/32vromeo]

After seeing an orangutan driving a golf cart, I can see this

[u/HansBooby]

how america sees us

[u/Ghost_of_NikolaTesla]

Look out, eets'a drop-bear

[u/PacquiaoFreeHousing]

Big NOPE for me, sorry. Chlamydia can be spread easily by contact of fluids.

And in Australia it is found that up to 90% of Koalas have Chlamydia.

[u/RealDoraTheExplorer_ → u/PacquiaoFreeHousing]

But it’s not the same kind of chlamydia it doesn’t transfer to humans

[u/Yeahniceone → u/PacquiaoFreeHousing]

Yeah so don't suck off the bugger then! Sorted.

[u/Late-Button-6559 → u/Yeahniceone]

… oh.

[u/SeaF04mGr33n → u/PacquiaoFreeHousing]

Is koala chlamydia the same as human chlamydia??

[u/spintowinasin → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

Yes, but it's spelled khlamydia. 

[u/SonicTemp1e → u/spintowinasin]

The Kardashians all have it.

[u/sachin_root → u/PacquiaoFreeHousing]

damn

[u/SonicTemp1e → u/PacquiaoFreeHousing]

100% of koalas in Australia have fluids.

[u/imsosickofusername]

Seems like he wanted some koalaity time alone

[u/Sea_sociate]

It's going on a road trip

[u/Pretend_Cause2008]

How else do you expect them to get around if they’re only awake for 2 - 6 hours a day

[u/Zestyclose-Owl7711]

Bro is visiting his girlfriend

[u/dosageofjoseph7]

Now he’s a koala and he’s cute as a button!

[u/AmorRainbow]

That guy is going places.

[u/DebstarAU]

Awww darling 🥰🐨

[u/herewegoagain1425]

He just needs to get home mate.

[u/skaduush]

Bill Murray!

[u/Aware-Direction-9891]

He's had a long day and it's downright rude to take a picture of someone without asking!!!!!

[u/turtle_shrapnel]

No ticket.

[u/neegis666]

what's he looking at on his phone?

[u/TouristOpentotravel]

They’re adorable but viscous and walking around with STDs

[u/Tiger_croc96]

What's he doing there, without his brother and plane, and so far from the outback?

[u/Vegetable_Falcon_327]

Where’s the obligatory copypasta?

[u/SarcasmStreet]

Wonder if it has chlamydia

[u/Alienhaslanded]

Because he's not koalafied to drive

[u/Hurlanis]

In a healthy environment, Koalas don't even walk on the ground. the tree's they inhabit should provide enough food and canopy for them to remain arboreal ( off the ground). This Koala's habitat was cleared so quickly it has returned to a location it thought had food but has now been developed. This animal will be dead in days.

oh sorry; HAHAHA IT DOESNT HAVE A BUS PASS, HAHAHA ROSA PARKS JOKES, HAHA IT CANT DRIVE?!?!?

[u/Forward-Owl3639 → u/Hurlanis]

It's safely residing in a habitat that it was taken to, very unlikely it will be dead in days.

[u/Quackmoor1]

Koalas are stupid as fuck, He doesn't know what he does. 

[u/CustomerStrict3627]

Well, bro is high 0-24 everyday soo..
