Pay Your Bus Ticket with 20 Squats in Romania — Disabled and Elderly Ride at No Cost

Romania Turns Fitness Into a Bus Fare 💡🚏

In Cluj-Napoca, Romania, public transport is getting a healthy twist: riders can earn a bus ticket by doing 20 squats in front of a smart machine that counts each rep.

The initiative is part of a citywide push to promote daily exercise, ease traffic congestion, and make public transit more engaging — especially for younger commuters. Meanwhile, elderly and disabled passengers ride completely free, reinforcing the city’s commitment to accessibility and inclusive mobility.

It’s a small but powerful example of how smart city innovation can nudge communities toward healthier habits while reducing urban strain.
