We had that accel sound here in Toronto for years. I miss it so much. We let our elevated system fall into disrepair. Every time I am in YVR I make sure to jump on the train more than a few times lol
The O-Train’s start has had a lot of problems but the system has good bones and it gonna grow in popularity as the city gets more populous. Ottawa is a small place to have such a system in North America but at the rate it’s growing it won’t be, and growth will hug the Confederation Line.
So the guy who made the door chime took inspiration from the same music than the guy who made the sound of Montreal's MR-73 trains around a decade earlier, interesting

Other than the Montreal REM, nothing in North America is as cool as the Vancouver Skytrain... Automated, electric, elevated... What every major city needs to make transit effective if you ask me!
If not for the Ford brother's subway delusions, we'd likely be expanding our SkyTrain incarnation (Scarborough RT). Unfortunately, we have a "let's pay more for something that will do less" mentality.
The first automated metro opened in Kobe in 1981. So maybe a few years 😃. And I believe all the automated lines in Japan have a driver on the train, unlike Vancouver.
I honestly think the MK1 acceleration/deceleration sound is more iconic than the chime.
I agree
I agree as well

@@jozdundar Scarborough RT I’m assuming
Need this in Winnipeg instead of 35 more dealerships
SkyTrain would be a bad idea in Winnipeg. The trains don’t perform well in snow or freezing weather.
@@raymondyu412 agreed, thats why line 3 is being closed in Toronto and they never built more than one line.
@@GeorgeGabor19 True but Line 3 also had other problems. Line 2's extension should be better though.
@@GeorgeGabor19line 3 uses the exact same trains as the Vancouver system
Rode the sky train when I visited BC its cool. They even have ferries you can take within teh transit system that you can get on with a transfer
Ottawa could use a SkyTrain right about now. The LRT is a national embarassment.
What's wrong with the bus system in Ottawa? It was awesome back in the 90s !

2:12 pitch it up a bit and you get the Montreal Metro door chime
Preventative maintenance to devise track issues all comes down to finding transit funding in car-centered Individualistic North America.
this was amazing consider that it was supported by both right and left provincial government.

I’m on a skytrain watching this. So cool
I wish we would get the Skytrain in edmonton. LRT is honestly so horrible.
I remember when it was $1.25 to use the bus & train

My right foot is bigger than my left. I will never forgive the Ford brothers for this.
"Was"
Even tho it still kinda is
Man first one to watch this. congratulations to me.
Proud of you bro
Happy Bilal day!
only time when it's not annoying
Calgary could never
Hire Bob Rock to get that slick production lol
MK4 When?
Never actually. They're skipping from mk3 to mk5 in the coming months.
Still years behind Japan.

How?
Except for non standardized cars that have to be custom made at no expense
No different than "Toronto Gauge" subway & trams.
Now it's 20 years behind China's trains. 🤣
How so?
That's not true at all skytrain is one of the only automated rapid transit systems in the world and is the longest automated system in the world
was
Hgiyvgiy
Hi, have you ever heard of Japan?
Yes
Yes and skytrain Is currently the largest automated rapid transit system in the world in front of Copenhagen
@@AR-gj1qt and it's getting bigger
@@AR-gj1qt I think Singapore is also larger but their city is 3 times the size of ours. So well done vancouver
Today on 14 of December 2022 I was waiting station # 61612 at 10: 15am just take out my ticket,there you go he not stop. Vancouver transit 👎👎👎👎👎
Nothing compared to the TGV in France.
You can't compare light rail with heavy rail
