And You Thought Heat-Related Delays Were Bad?

Just when you thought WMATA's "we can't run trains that often because the tracks are too hot" delays were bad, the rest of the world arrives with a much more dire threat -- monkeys on trains. According to Reuters, the New metro in New Delhi has a problem with monkeys taking the train:

In June, a monkey boarded a train at the underground Chawri Bazaar station and reportedly scared passengers by scowling at them for three stops. It then alighted at Civil Lines station.

Their solution? Hire a monkey, of course. They've hired a specially-trained langur monkey to patrol stations and scare off other monkeys.
