With one guy shaving and another making loud, awful, inexplicable groans, I'd say this bus has reached the Extra level.
You answered your own question 🕵🏻♀️ x.com/ukiekat85/stat…
Now I've seen everything: guy straight up doing four bumps of coke in the back of the bus. Have a great Monday, everybody!
"I wear the shirt once and then throw it out". His laconic, lizard-like gaze scanned the bus to see if anyone had heard him. #CTAvignettes
This lady sitting next to us can't stay awake to save her life, dropping her phone, soda, and backpack with alarming regularity.
Good morning! Hope you, too, have someone rolling a fat blunt on their lap next to you on your preferred form of public transit. 🌞
Shouts to the man wearing boxer shorts as a hat yelling at his reflection while swigging from a fifth of Jack Daniels. You rule this 66 bus.

Passenger glares at the rest of us suspiciously as the music BLASTS from his in-ear headphones. Yeah, it's *us* who deserves the side eye 😒
Young woman narrates every twist and turn of her bus ride to whomever's on the phone. Her friends must love her.
Not sure if I should be mortified or flattered (I'm mostly just confused) but I just made the Snapchat of the 11yr old boy next to me. #CTA
Man casually holding bag full of woman parts from disembodied mannequin. #MONDAY!
Struggling to decide what's worse: that this bus is a balmy 85 degrees or that it reeks of tuna.
A little part of humanity is lost when riders don't warn each other that a seat is wet before they sit down. #soggybottom #CTA
I will say, seeing other riders' reactions as they get to the back has been kind of amusing. #shockandawe
Orrrr a junkie can make a scene in the back of the bus, taking off his shirt to reveal bleeding sores. #WinSome #LoseSome #CTA #NewSlogan
You know it's going to be a good day when you see someone downing a Pixie Stick for breakfast. #norules #justfun #CTA #NewSlogan

This week's Transit Diaries podcast: Parody CTA Twitter accounts. trib.in/1TI57y3 Featuring @CTA_CIA
You grab the baby, I'll take the blunt... #addingaudiotoredlinevisual @CTA_CIA Hi Twitter! 👋🏾
@CTA_CIA Our only regret has been missing this tweet back in 2013--we Liked it now! Keep up the good work.
Been on this rain-slowed bus so long I met someone, started dating, broke up, ate a cookie, & got back together. Not even halfway home yet.
Woman shouting and crying on the phone about a prostitute who stole her Pomeranian. Happy Tuesday! #CTA
Shoutouts to @mcachicago following us. You can hang up our printed out tweets wherever you'd like.
Young woman trying to talk on the phone while sucking her thumb getting mad that the person on the other end can't understand her. #CTA
The person sitting behind me is to chewing gum as Darth Vader is to breathing. #cta
My favorite thing is when the bus I'm on catches up with the bus I missed. Y'all didn't know it, but this is a race! #CTA
OH: "Babies are SO dumb." This from a woman drinking boxed wine on a bus. #FactsOfLife #CTA
Been on this bus so long they're about to start charging us rent.
The woman next to me keeps bobbing her head like a pigeon -- not even listening to music or anything. Should I offer some bird seed?
Our driver has an almost fanatical desire to cram people onto the bus. It's as if she's Noah and everyone not aboard will be taken by floods
Spotted at the Belmont stop: man asks girl for a bite of her snickers bar. She looks confused & he ends up eating entire thing. #CTA
It wouldn't be a fun commute on #CTA without a guy asking Siri to find him "lesbian midget stripper" porn. #differentstrokes
