Hey nappers, here's a wake-up call: There are rules against dozing on the CTA and in Chicago laundromats.
On the CTA, passengers can be cited if they sleep "in such a way as to impede or pose a hazard to other customers or to interfere with the operation of the bus or train," according to CTA spokeswoman Wanda Taylor. Violators face fines between $100 to $300.
Metra spokeswoman Judy Pardonnet said there are no rules against napping on Metra trains and passengers "definitely" take snoozes.
Meanwhile, no one is permitted to sleep in a Chicago laundromat, according to city municipal code. If a person is found snoozing at a laundromat, the business owner faces a violation. Efrat Stein, spokeswoman for the city Department of Business Affairs and Licensing, said no laundromat has been ticketed under that ordinance.
