Mickey Mahan

Centro bus driver Mickey Mahan has been driving the bus in Syracuse, New York, for more than two decades. A poet, artist, and musician, Mickey sees bus-driving as a daily adventure. An alumnus of the English department at Syracuse University, he has also taught at the university where countless students, faculty, and staff have encountered him in his post-teaching years as the “Flying Busman” who drives the bus along the university’s Connective Corridor route. On April 24, 2020, in honor of National Poetry Month, Mickey read and discussed his poems inspired by his bus-journeys, at a virtual meeting of the Landscape Studies Interdisciplinary Faculty Seminar.
