TOOMER TKO (Part 10): The Buss Mobbing Era In L.A. Graff, Who Was the GHOST Team
from GRAFFTV · host Richard Castro
In the next clip of our exclusive sit-down interview with Los Angeles graffiti legend TOOMER TKO, he delves into the adrenaline-charged world of the Bus Mobbing Era in Los Angeles Graffiti. He recounts when vandals tagged buses with markers, scribers, and even spray cans—turning city transit into moving blackbooks. Toomer shares stories of distracting bus drivers during late-night rides while stealthily tagging the bus interiors. He also mentions the names of several other writers who became legends of that bus-mobbing era, their tags well-known and recognized throughout the city's transit system. In a twist, Toomer also sheds light on the Ghost Team (Graffiti Habitual Offenders Suppression Team), a unit dedicated to tracking and building cases against the most notorious vandals across Los Angeles. The interview closes with Toomer’s vivid memories of his favorite bus lines, the rush of the streets, and how the Ghost Team sought to bring this criminal era to a halt.
