    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.
