Chicago transit passenger says he found bed bug-filled bag on train … – Fox News

If you use public transportation in Chicago, you might want to avoid the Red Line for a while.

A Chicago transit rider named Michael Moore (no, not that one) recently spotted hundreds and hundreds of tiny insects which he believes were bed bugs in a fellow passengers bag.

THE BEST WAY TO SEARCH A HOTEL FOR BED BUGS

Moore was riding on a downtown-bound train when he noticed the insects inside a nearby garbage bag, which was brought on-board by a homeless woman, he alleges. Moore then notified the conductor, but not before capturing about 12 seconds of footage of the bugs as they crawled across the womans belongings.

Moore told WLS News that once the trains crew had become aware of the problem, they evacuated all the passengers from his car.

They evacuate just that car from the train, and then we stop there for about 10 minutes and they clean the train, he told WLS.

Once the crew was done cleaning, Moore boarded another train car to continue on his way but so did the woman, still carrying the bug-filled bag, says Moore.

"It has holes in the bottom of the bag, and then she gets onto another train," he remarked.

Moore adds that he and the woman boarded separate train cars upon re-entering the Red Line.

WLS reports that the Chicago Transit Authority didnt confirm whether the insects were actually bed bugs, but they did say they dont prevent paying customers from entering their trains.

Sleep tight, Chicago.
