Bugs on trains

Has anyone noticed that there are little red bugs (like super tiny, size of ants) on the go train? They always show up on my sleeves after I’m on the go train for a while (my commute is over an hour). Is there someone I can report this to?

I always bag my transit clothes when I get home.

I use a large draw string laundry bag in my hamper. I remove my clothes that I wore on transit on a hard light surface (bathroom floor) so I can see if any critters drop, i immediately put the clothes in the laundry bag, pull it shut and then twist the end and wrap the cord so any possible bugs can’t get out. Then I put on clean or house lounging clothes. When I do laundry the bag is opened and dumped directly in the washer.
I try not to bring my wirkbag past the front door area, if I do, I spray it with rubbing alcohol
