Bucharest's mayor, Ciprian Ciucu, claims the rat issue is exaggerated and has not received official reports about bedbugs in public transport. He attributes the visibility of rats to recent sanitation efforts that disturbed their habitats. Ciucu acknowledges the long-standing presence of rats but insists the situation is not as severe as reported. Regarding bedbugs, he states he lacks confirmation of their presence in STB buses, emphasizing the distinction between public and private space management. He considers claims about bedbugs in institutions like ASE to be exaggerated and outside the city's jurisdiction.
