The back portion of a Port Authority bus fell into a sinkhole at the intersection of 10th Street and Penn Avenue on Monday, Oct. 28, 2019.

The timing was perfect: A Pittsburgh bus falls into a sinkhole in totally dramatic fashion just days before tons of people in Western Pennsylvania need to come up with a cool costume for parties.

We knew what would happen next.

And it did.

If you went dressed as the Pittsburgh sinkhole bus this Halloween, you weren’t alone.

Some pulled it off spectacularly.

The crew at Robert Morris University’s Financial Aid Office decided to make it a group effort.

Of course, even the Pittsburgh sinkhole bus isn’t immune to needing a “sexy” version.

And, hey, some folks just didn’t have a lot of time. But did that stop them from bus-ing it up? Nope.

However they did it, serious kudos to Western Pennsylvanian ingenuity.
