MARTA unveiled the bus at a special event last week with Big Boi making a surprise appearance.
The bus will run routes in southwest Atlanta for the next year, keeping Outkast’s legacy rolling through the city.
“MARTA is part of the fabric of Atlanta, just like Outkast,” said Jonathan Hunt, Interim General Manager and CEO of MARTA. “We’re honored to celebrate artists who have carried the spirit of this city to the world, and who often mentioned MARTA in their music.”
