    S3E7 | Doo doo doo you know the story of the SkyTrain chime?

    It's arguably the most iconic sound in Metro Vancouver: the "doo doo doo" as the doors on the SkyTrain. But how did it come to be?

    S3E6 | Where does the SkyTrain sleep at night?

    You ride the SkyTrain during the day, but where do they go at night for downtime and TLC at the end of a long day of work? Listen to find out and what an expanding SkyTrain system means for that — all made possible with funding from many years ago. But with an ever-growing system, we’ll need more investments to continue to build it out and accommodate population growth for years to come.

    “Transportation might only be a small part of everyday, but it is that part that makes everything else possible.” Those are the astute words of Chris Chan, manager of travel training at TransLink. Chris shares his challenges learning how to use transit as a newcomer and how that informs his mission to ensure new riders are setup for success as part of fostering a transit system that is welcoming to all ages and abilities.

How does SkyTrain plan extra service on the Expo and Millennium Lines for large events like this? What about when there's single tracking or shuttle trains for track maintenance? Explaining it all is Ian Fisher, manager of operations planning for SkyTrain.
