A Hong Kong man created a stir online on Thursday by taking the MTR with a large rubbish bin.

 MTR passengers generally observe luggage rules, which prohibit bulky items on trains. But in a photo widely circulated on Thursday, an elderly man was seen standing inside a fairly crowded carriage with the bin next to him. 

The man was not in uniform, like a cleaner may have been.

Other passengers nearby seemed unaware of or unperturbed by his extra large personal item.

An MTR spokesman said the passenger boarded the Whampoa-bound train at Wong Tai Sin Station at about 12.05pm on Thursday.
