MTA: 3 N Trains Taken Out Of Service Due To Bedbug Infestation

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – N for nasty!

The Metropolitan Transit Authority confirmed Wednesday that three separate N trains were taken out of service after bedbugs were found on board.

All three have since been fumigated.

The critters were found in the seat cushions of the train cabs, where motormen and conductors sit.

Fortunately, passengers' seats don't have cushions!

BART trains out here DO and man, they're going to be a problem if there's ever an infestation.
