Transit TV Music Man
From 2012 – 2014, every time you rode the Metro Bus in Los Angeles you would see Bill Berry, The Transit TV Music Man!
The show was featured on closed circuit TV on every bus in the Los Angeles area!
Alas, due to budget cuts, the show had to end. But you can still see all the shows here!
We featured a new show every week!

Here is a great LA Times article on Transit TV from October 2013!
Who is that on the TV in the photo? It’s me!
It was a great opportunity. I wrote and hosted each episode and was able to share my love for music and musicians with the millions of riders on the Metro buses every day.
Thank you to Transit TV for such a wonderful experience!
