It was Erykah Badu Day at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing Arts on Tuesday as the multitalented entertainer gathered with Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) officials to announce an impressive collaboration.
Passengers will now be moving and grooving on DART buses featuring the international singer/actress and Dallas homegirl.
The partnership lasts throughout 2024, and was kicked off with a sweep-stakes leading up to Ms. Badu’s annual birthday bash on Saturday, February 24, when lucky sweepstakes winners will be some of the first North Texans to see the Badu Bus and Rail designs.
Featuring artwork and images of the NAACP Image, BET, Soul Train, MTV, Grammy Award-winning artist, the buses will be driving throughout North Texas.
You can check out the cool Badu-in-spired buses and trains on the GoPass® app to catch your ride in the DART window seat.
“DART is thrilled to partner with Erykah Badu for our year-long collaboration celebrating all that North Texas has to offer,” said Nadine Lee, DART president & CEO.
“As a Dallas native, Erykah Badu has inspired so many people. From her many awards and accolades to everything she’s given back to our communities, we’re honored to celebrate her many successes.”
A special treat of the day was provided for students. Ms. Badu dropped nuggets of wisdom during interviews as she devoted time specifically for them. Check out the videos at www.texasmetronews.com.
