We’ve spoken in this space before about the remarkable dedication it takes to be a bus driver. The every-second of every-minute vigilance that’s needed to look out for passenger safety. The patience of dealing with a harried and hurried public. The skills required to weave through traffic accident-free and yes, on time. There’s no wonder it’s considered one of the toughest jobs in America.

There’s no wonder it’s considered one of the toughest jobs in America.
So once a year we celebrate those skills and qualities that MTA Bus Operators hone so diligently on a daily basis, with the MTA Bus & Maintenance Roadeo Competition. It’s an opportunity for our friends and neighbors to see just how good our drivers really are. We invite you to join us to see them test their maneuvering skills on a closed course set up to challenge even our most accomplished professionals. Will your favorite driver win?
You’ll also have an opportunity to explore some of our vintage buses, and we hear there will also be a cool collection of antique cars on hand as well. Come grab a burger and stroll around the grounds as the Ravens Mascot Poe and select Ravens Cheerleaders join in the fun and carnival games, all accompanied by can’t-sit-down music supplied by Magic 95.9.
It’s a perfect event for the entire family, and all designed to bring back memories for the more seasoned among us. And if it invites some snickers from the kids too? Well, that’s just all part of the fun.
Hope to see you there!
