Man Who Couldn't Afford Ticket Rides Chicago Bus Roof 'Like a Boss'

A man in Chicago, Illinois, is facing criticism after he was filmed climbing onto the roof of a Chicago Transport Authority bus on July 19.

An image and video shared to Lloyd Anthony D Peters’s Facebook account shows the daredevil scaling the back of a number 74 route CTA bus and smoking a cigarette as the bus drives under an overpass.

Peters told CBS Chicago the man had asked if he could use Peters’s card on the bus, but Peters said no.

“He literally just said eff it, and he climbed on top of the bus, and lit the cigarette, and just went straight down Fullerton like a boss," he said.

Police confirmed they were investigating the incident, but said no charges had been filed as of Thursday afternoon.
