Local muralist Mickael Broth painted a bus in Charlottesville during this year’s Tom Tom fest, and now it can be yours if the price is right.


Local muralist Mickael Broth painted a bus in Charlottesville during this year’s Tom Tom fest, and now it can be yours if the price is right.

There’s only about 5 hours left on the public auction, but the now decommissioned 2001 New Flyer Transit Bus graced the streets of C-ville for a while. The aucition page says it’s still in running condition with “no other details on mechanical condition” available – so it appears to be in working shape.

All official transit logos have been removed, as well as radios and any other special equipment previously added so you’re getting pretty much just-a-bus with some world class art over top.

Take a look at the video below to see the bus in action, and head on over to the auction site here to place a bid .

You too could be driving this thing down the street!http://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/charlottesville,va/auction/view?auc=1434983

Richmond Got a Little Filthier. John Waters Was Here.
