SOUTH BEND — Transpo will run ads from the Indiana Atheist Bus Campaign, the board announced at its meeting Monday.

The ads, which say “You can be good without God,” were set to run before President Barack Obama’s visit to South Bend.

Bloomington’s bus line rejected the ads, which led to a lawsuit.

But their installation on 20 city buses was delayed after Transpo asked to review the matter at its board meeting.

The ads were considered controversial not because of their content, board Chairman Chip Lewis said, but because of the situation in Bloomington.
