MARTA bus driver forces passengers to pray, you decide why

November 10, 2009 at 11:59 am by Patrick Saunders in News

A MARTA bus driver was suspended over an incident last week in which he insisted passengers hold hands while he led them in prayer.

In the complaint, the passenger told MARTA officials the Route 125 Avondale/Northlake bus was traveling northbound on Nov. 3 when it stopped around 7:30 p.m. at the corner of Northlake Parkway and Lavista Road.

As the passenger, whose name was not released, approached the front of the bus, Matthews, who has been with MARTA six years,  stood from his seat and asked everyone to hold hands for a brief word of prayer.

The prayer lasted  four to five minutes.

What they prayed for or about is unclear, said Harris.

What did the MARTA bus driver ask passengers to pray for?
