Comment on This is a real machine in Romania. Do 20 squats in front of it, and it prints you a free bus ticket.

Wondered if this was actually real since I saw the post and realized what community it was posted under, haha:

Mostly true

In Cluj-Napoca, Romania, a so-called “health ticket” was introduced that allowed individuals to use public transportation for free by completing 20 squats. However, the organizers only implemented it in one city for a limited time. As of this writing, it’s unknown if the program will resume at a future date.
