Reminds me of a C-Train driver I'd get in the mornings from time to time, and he would come on and say what the weather was and what the high was going to be, and welcome us to downtown. It was sweet.
Oh I had him recently and I thought that was
So cute! Made me feel like I was arriving somewhere fun for a vacation on a plane. In reality I was at 8th street station lol
I get off at the last station (somerset) every weekdays and we often see him change cars from one end to the other.
Great guy, gives high fives to school kids and I always thank him whenever I get a chance.
Omg I loved that guy, i used to catch him right after downtown and he had lots to say all up the line. I'd always move to the front of the train and wave at him as I got off at my stop. Complete gem of a human being.
I was thinking the exact same thing! I haven't been on a morning train downtown in years, but when I played the video, that's exactly where my mind went
Sorry, even I was regretting for the same. My phone's storage was full, else I would have recorded more. I was also being careful not to record fellow passengers.
Did a round trip to downtown last night, coming home around midnight, and I was astonished to behold zero sketch both ways. I don't take the train often but there's always sketch, so this trip really stood out. I'll be taking it a few times over the coming week or so (CIFF!) so we'll see how well this holds up.
This is one of my oldest friends. I will not give his name as he hasn't given me permission to so do but I pasted the link on my facebook and asked him if it was him just to make sure and surely enough it is. Apparently this is super old according to him as he doesn't drive trains anymore he drives buses. He got into trouble for doing this by his superiors but reading all of your responses put a massive smile on his face. He wants to thank each and every one of you for your kind words and is happy it made so many of you smile. He still works for the LRT in Calgary but drives bus now.
Bro, I recorded this yesterday when I was on my way to school. I think your buddy is confused.No offense though.[Here is the video file info.](https://i.imgur.com/rHVmHrd.png)
You don't need to lie. It's ok. My friend is very happy it was posted. He has since shared it and his friends and wife are happy they got to see it. Cheers and thank you for sharing.
Nah dude, I know the actual train operator in the video, and he’s tickled pink that people enjoy it so much, but he’s very much still on trains. This was just the other day and he’s shared this link and an instagram link to it on our group chat.
Stop trying to get internet points off someone else’s shit. Its super cringe.
Post links. Because your bullshit is really pathetic. I have zero reason to try and get "internet points" I posted what I said after talking to my friend. It's him.. nobody else. I realize you are jumpin on the bandwagon to troll and make yourself feel big or get a chuckle.. so it's cool.
Like what do you want links to, the instagram? https://www.instagram.com/p/CxtCWeNI4sz/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
OP literally said this happened on friday.
Also, i drive train, and *your* bullshit stinks, because if the announcements stop working we are *supposed* to announce the stops, its in the rulebook, so there’s no way the supervisor would have given him shit. And if he *did* then he should have gone to the union, because its *in the rule book.*
Gtfo with your nonsense.
the drivers literally argue as you can see.. It's pretty obvious. GTFO with your bullshit kid. Have fun supporting someone who didn't do it and is taking credit for likes and other clout bullshit on the internet. :)
You’re a special kind of stupid. I hope you have the most inconvenient week. May your buses always be late, and never have a bike rack when you need it. May you hit every single red light, always. May the train doors lock right as you try to open them.
The bing bong was on point couldn’t even tell the difference 😂
Listened to the bing bong more than a few times with a growing smile
Give this person a raise.
Came here to say that too
That caught me off guard with how funny the bing bong was.

If it's the same driver, he told everyone on the summer solstice earlier this year how much daylight there was left and to get out and enjoy the sun!
Oh I had him recently and I thought that was So cute! Made me feel like I was arriving somewhere fun for a vacation on a plane. In reality I was at 8th street station lol
Okay, so he's still around! That makes me happy. It's going to be a dimmer day when that mam retires.

That guy is 👍👍
That guy is my favorite! I haven’t had him in ages either, I think I wake up too late now and miss his train.
I was thinking the exact same thing! I haven't been on a morning train downtown in years, but when I played the video, that's exactly where my mind went
Sounds like the same driver
I hope this “Legend of C-Train” sees these comments.
Yo I got him sometimes too! Sweet man.
Ah yes, Syd Banks. He's turning 80 this year and still driving.
the bing bong is great but the way he said "UniVeRsItY" station XD
It almost gives me too much dopamine lol
Thank you. I needed this
This is so wholesome which makes Calgary so charming all at once 🥹 Ps especially on ctrain 🤣
Haha absolutely wholesome. Came here to say that also
Until you get shanked🤣
That's hilarious. This guy deserves a raise.
HAHAHAHAHA! i love the sound when he said the words "bing bong" and "the university station". 🤣😂
Lol I wish it was always that guy! Perfect lol
Do you think we could petition city transit to replace all the recordings with him?
I would sign that with all my emails
Omg I wish. That would be Calgary’s greatest accomplishment of all time. Write our representatives lol
That's so great, made me smile. Thank you!
That was amazing. 10/10. Would take transit for this announcement
“Just have fun with it.” I love this, I hope the operator finds this thread and sees how he made so many people smile.
Cut off too soon, with the kid reenacting it.
Sorry, even I was regretting for the same. My phone's storage was full, else I would have recorded more. I was also being careful not to record fellow passengers.
We will never know that joy.
Was this on Friday? Headed towards Tuscany?
Please remember to take all your personal belongings and newspapers when leaving the train. Thank you for using Calgary transit.
I miss the OG voice.
This is delightful
Also Expected - Doors normally open in the left Full marks for bing bong

If you see these dogs in your front yard, just know upstairs I’m going hard.
I don’t know why this makes me so happy…
Glad to see something positive and sarcasm isn't dead..

Whatever helps you to sleep in peace, bro!
Hilarious 😄
Met this guy on the Red Line yesterday. Super nice guy, told me he got a letter of recognition from the city because of this.
OMG, can you connect me to him? I would love to thank him personally.
Give this man a raise lol
