The Law

An antiquated moral law once limited romantic affection on passenger trains to a maximum of five minutes per kiss. Lawmakers were eager to prevent scandalous behavior and public indecency among traveling couples in the early 1900s. While impossible to enforce today, it remains a hilarious artifact of a more prudish era of public transit.
