Snoring On The CTA Red Line

This seems to be a reoccurring theme or problem, depending upon your take of the situation, on CTA trains in Chicago, as nowhere else have I travelled in the universe, have I seen more men than women sleep their way home, yet I'm sure it occurs elsewhere. By the time we came to the end of the red line at the Howard Station, it was me who woke this sleepy gentleman up.

@byw613 No, at the end of the shift, security guards or officials clear out the cars to make sure they're all vacant. If you were found sleeping or still on the train, they'll politely tell you to leave.

Poor guy is just plain tired. The rocking motion of the train can be very soothing.

If I were you, I wouldn't do that, you could miss your stop and be on that train forever!!

I really love the honesty in this video. It's the representation of broken hopes, promises and dreams, you should try and explore things like this man. Good work

This poor man probably worked some really long hours, or perhaps pulled a double shift.  This isn't funny you video-taping him, I agree with the other person who said that you should of blurred his face. Isn't anyone sensitive to other people's feelings nowadays?

you're not right for recording this man without his permission. people talking about the crazies on the train, but you gotta watch for the gawker's and peeping toms trying to record you. it's a mess. at least blur the person's face out! geez

HAHAHAHA .. I see people closing their eyes and taking a half-asleep nap in MY subway .. but this is hilarious!
