The driver, who had spent 20 years on the job, had just left the MARTA garage on Hamilton Boulevard near Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport around 4:30 a.m., agency spokesperson Stephany Fisher said.
The driver had worked for MARTA for 20 years, officials said.
There were no passengers aboard the bus, and it sustained minor damage when it crashed into a pole. The driver’s name has not been released.
“Grief counselors will be at Hamilton garage today and for as long as needed to assist and support employees,” Fisher said.
