Bus Drivier refuses to let passengers leave until they prayed
Published:
Thank the Lord you didn't get this MARTA bus driver

LeRoy Matthews, a bus operator for the Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, has more time to talk with God.
That's because Matthews, who has been with MARTA for six years, was suspended for five days after a passenger complained the driver would not allow him and others to leave the bus before leading them in prayer.
Matthews behavior violated MARTA's policy, said Lyle V. Harris, MARTA spokesman.
The incident took place Tuesday evening, Nov. 3 around 7:30 on the Route 125 Avondale/Northlake.
In the complaint, the passenger told MARTA officials the bus was traveling northbound when it stopped at the corner of Northlake Parkway and Lavista Road.
As the passenger, whose name was not released, approached the front of the bus, Matthews stood from his seat and asked everyone to hold hands for a brief word of prayer.
The prayer lasted around four to five minutes.
What they prayed for or about is unclear, said Harris.
It is also unclear whether this incident has ever occured before.
