Bedbugs on Subway: Three N Trains Out of Service Thanks to Critters

Bedbugs have been found on three New York subway N trains, causing the transit system to take them out of service for cleaning.

Two trains were taken out of service Sunday and a third was sent for fumigation on Tuesday, the New York Daily News reported.

A Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman said the bedbugs, which were found in seat cushions in train cabs used by conductors, have been exterminated.

MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz told WABC-TV: “The MTA continues to spot check other crew and passenger areas. They say this is isolated. No crew members or passengers have reported bites by the bedbugs."

Twitter users reacted to the news.

Want to see a bunch of New Yorkers freak out? Yell "Bedbugs!" on a crowded subway. Or in a crowded theatre. Or anywhere with a crowd.

The bedbugs on the subway aren't as scary if you imagine them saying, "It's showtime!" right as they break-dance into your clothes. 😣
