Did TikToker Lexy Montana quit Super Metro?
The announcement came on Thursday, November 12, catching many of her followers off guard. Lexy broke the news with an emotional statement directed at everyone who had supported her along the way.
“It is with heavy hearts that we announce our decision to call it quits. Today marks our final day. To all our amazing fans, supporters and everyone who has been part of our journey, we love and appreciate you more than words can express.
Thank you for the love, memories, laughter and unwavering support. This may be goodbye for now, but who knows what the future holds? Until next time, we say bye bye!” she wrote.
In a follow-up post, the TikToker moved straight to business, letting interested buyers know the vehicles were available.
“Buses on sale. DM if interested. Highly maintained, perfect condition, one year on the road,” she wrote.
The two matatus had only been on the road for a year, suggesting the decision to sell was driven by operational challenges rather than the age or condition of the vehicles.
The announcement drew a wave of responses from followers, with many expressing sympathy and sharing their own experiences with the notoriously difficult matatu business.
