The 30 best submissions to People of the CTA

Some people who ride the CTA are just the worst. But the folks that People of the CTA has long documented are something different altogether. Here’s a curated look at their 30 best submissions to date, a lineup of the most ludicrous Chicago transit trolls you’ll see -- or hopefully never see? -- including everything from Juggalos to superheroes to nudists (both intentional and unintentional).

You'll shoot your eye out, kid! Or more likely, you'll shoot the guy that your gun is directly aimed at.

And finally: this is the bounty hunter who hunts Dog the Bounty Hunter.
