Unruly NJ Transit passenger Can you believe her⁉️ This passenger on a crowded NJ Transit train wouldn't move her bag off the seat, and the other riders were having none of it. http://nj-ne.ws/vLcEfLO Posted by NJ.com on Thursday, February 14, 2019

Update: Watch woman finally get ejected from the train.

Who deserves a seat on a crowded NJ Transit commuter train, a handbag or passengers who are standing?

A woman refused to take her bag off a seat on a crowded NJ Transit train Wednesday, and got a social media spanking after angry commuters posted videos of her standing her ground -- or rather, her seat.

The incident happened on a Trenton-bound Northeast Corridor line train Wednesday evening, which was delayed 25 minutes “due to police activity,” an official alert said.

The unidentified woman can be seen in the video refusing to move her bag after a conductor and other passengers ask her to, looking at her phone, and dismissing the request to put her bag on an overhead rack. Other passengers can be heard saying the train was “standing room only.”

The woman can be heard telling others that she doesn’t want anyone sitting next to her, calling a passenger “disgusting” and saying “I don’t want your bed bugs, I don’t want your smell (near me).”

“You’re not disabled, you’re not pregnant,” she tells another woman.

When an official asks her to move the purse, she yells, “Don’t put your hands on my stuff!”

“When train 3955 arrived at Newark Penn Station last night, New Jersey Transit Police asked the woman to exit the train to discuss the situation. Train 3955 was then able to depart the station,” NJ Transit spokeswoman Lisa Torbic said Thursday.

The woman did not cooperate with police and left on her own, Torbic said.

“No one was angry at (NJ Transit),” said Thaedra Frangos, a passenger on board the train who recorded the incident. “(We were) just irritated with her inability to act like a normal person on public transportation.”

“Overall -- kudos to NJ Transit conductors and transit PD,” Frangos said. “This could have escalated very quickly into something much worse.”

Passengers taking up seats for handbags, shopping bags and luggage are a pet peeve of commuters who post photos on Twitter of offenders under the hashtag #trainjerk and #GarbagePeopleOfNJTransit. Facebook has an entire group documenting bad behavior.

Like other transit systems, NJ Transit has tried to run courtesy campaigns over decades, discouraging behavior such as hogging seats.

“We encourage customers to make every seat available by placing bags on their laps or on overhead luggage racks and complying with the direction of train crews,” Torbic said Thursday.
