"Bedbugs found on N train after conductor is bitten"

"The subway system has 5.5 million riders every single day and we can't check all of them for bedbugs before letting them on the train," MTA spokesman Adam Lisberg said earlier this month. "That said, when we get reports of bedbug sightings we investigate — and exterminate. This is an interesting story but not a big problem."

I'm thinking now about how hot, stinky and sweaty the subway to Brooklyn can be in the middle of a winter snow storm when everybody is bundled up.

Yes, Lord, I have taken the IRT to Brooklyn.

What if terrorists disguise themselves as bedbugs? We better do something about this, and quick!

And now I know there are sleeping accommodations on the New York subway.

This is an interesting story but not a big problem.

It will be when you bring bedbugs home on your person after being on the subway. An infestation of these nasty things is no joke.

Bed bugs better then driving on the wrong track, but it seems like underground rail is getting a bad reputation.

Bedbugs found on N train ...

The inevitable last performance of all boy bands.

No bedbugs on this train. It pays to know your letters.

I like how they're only "discovered" after the conductor is bitten. Previously, undiscovered bedbugs no doubt inconvenient to paying customers but whatevs.

I suspect that weird Trivago guy is causing the bedbugs, That and dead hookers under your hotel mattress.

TB is making a comeback for the same reason the bed-bugs have returned.
