Horrified passengers on a New York City-bound bus found they were bugged - by an invasion of cockroaches.

A passenger on the bus from Atlantic City, New Jersey, told WABC-TV that roaches started coming out of the vents inside the bus just 15 minutes into their journey and could be seen crawling on seats, windows, side panels and even on people.

Greyhound said the 48 passengers were moved to a new bus and the vehicle they had been in was being examined to determine where the bugs came from.
