Summary
- Two goats boarded an Oregon bus, surprising passengers and driver.
- Security footage captured the goats' brief journey on the TriMet bus.
- The goats have been reunited with their owner, who is writing a song.
Two young goats, identified as Billy the Kid and Billy the Goat, caused a stir when they boarded a TriMet bus in Portland, Oregon. The adventurous pair entered through the middle doors, much to the surprise of passengers and the bus driver. Security camera footage documented their short ride on the lime green FX2-Division bus before some passengers encouraged them to exit.
The goats belong to a family living nearby and had escaped their enclosure. Their owner, Lrae Anderson, expressed disbelief at their daring escapade across a busy street. He mentioned that his children occasionally forget to secure the enclosure's gate. A neighbor returned the goats home the same day, and improvements have since been made to their enclosure.
Footage of the horned passengers was posted online by TriMet, quickly accumulating millions of views and captivating the public. The incident has been humorously compared to a past event involving a coyote on a MAX train. For the owner, the escapade has provided inspiration for a new song he is composing.
