Turtle Power on the Train

Having a green hardcover backpack that looks just like a turtle shell, this commuter channels his inner “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.” With an intent gaze and scholarly vibe in his spectacles, he’s a meld of Donatello and a modern-day commuter. The comic, heroes in a half shell, emerged in the 1980s and quickly became pop culture icons.

Known for their love of pizza and martial arts, these turtles have captured imaginations worldwide. This commuter’s choice of backpack pays homage to the iconic quartet, adding a playful twist to his journey. It’s not every day you see someone combining practicality with a nod to their favorite childhood heroes.
