The things some people will do to avoid paying their train fare...
One cheeky passenger, called Daniel, decided to see if he could outsmart not one but two conductors as he climbed into the overhead luggage rack and hid behind an opened-out suitcase.
His little trick did actually work, and the video has now gone viral on YouTube.
Although the video is not in English, comments on YouTube have said that, at one point, a female passenger tells the cameraman not to draw too much attention to Daniel when the conductor comes by.
Towards the end of the video, other passengers can be seen taking pictures of Daniel in his hiding spot, before he climbs down, victorious.
