  • i had the beeesssst driver yesterday!!! i was going to LMFAO at scotiabank palce and i had to piss like megaaaaaa bad, the buss driver stoped on the highway and waited for me with like 100 people in the buss haha!

  • Apparently, he was told to stop singing or he'd be fired.  What a shame...

  • So much nicer then listening to someone getting cussed out. I'm going to pass the word around about sing on the bus day!!

  • On Friday November 18, we are doing a "Sing on the bus" day to honour this great man, please check out and attend this day and sing your hearts out on Friday and let's get OCTranspo to reverse this ridiculousness and allow Mr. Roy to entertain us the way he has been for 11 years, search for "Sing on the OC Transpo Buses" Day!!!!!! on facebook [sorry wouldn't let me post the link on here]

  • complaints about an amazing bus drivers, whos priority is to MAKE YOUR DAY A BETTER ONE by singing his heart out... and no complaints about those STUPID grumpy drivers who sometimes get caught TEXTING while driving. "Like" if you think it's fucking ridiculous. wow..

  • we need more people like this in the service industry. like the whistling painter

  • This man should be applauded not silenced. Keep singing Mr. Roy, even if it at home and not on a bus.

  • used to take his 86 when he was driving dat bus then moved to orleans :(

    so happy he now drives the 95 :) :). hope they allow him to sing again after the petition

  • What kind of anally retentive dickbag would lodge a complaint against THIS driver of all people? For the record, over the eleven years this guy's been driving he has received 12 "complaints" about his singing. Like, once a year someone got a stick up their ass and made the effort to deny the rest of us something unique and beautiful. Ugh. I hate this city.

    Ottawa - The City that Fun Forgot.

  • @LuckyNinja best said comment winner is... ;)

  • Break the silence! Let Mr. Roy and other drivers sing again!!!

  • I just heard on CBC radio, that OC Transpo had to "silence him" because of complaints from bus riders, since January.

    "Like" if you want this singing driver (or any kind of positive attitude driver) to do his thing.

  • @mig82 How ridiculous is that??? As the poster even mentioned, it was during that snow storm... I remember that time... His singing is actually one hell of a good way to relax, especially knowing those roads were pretty bad at the time... A lot of drivers were pretty paranoid when it came down. At least He had the right idea. It's just bad, when they have to do some senseless action against something, just to cater to just ONE with a problem, despite everyone else... Remember Dire Straits?

  • He stopped singing because he was told to. Some people really don't appreciate the finer things.

  • This guy has the 27 route in the morning. He used to sing but doesn't seem to anymore - I hope it's just because he didn't feel like it and not because someone complained. It's fun to see people's reactions the first time they hear him sing.

  • happy good driver

  • He's driving on the 95 route right now. Had him a few days ago on the way to Orléans. Still singing :)

  • god I miss the snow...

  • Comment removed

  • hahah wow this dude once sang killing me softly the entire bus ride.. got a round or applause

  • I've had this driver before!  It got a little awkward when he started singing steamy love songs...but it was still awesome :)

  • Singing because he is so happy that he gets payed so mutch to sit on his arse and can afford drugs - i would sing just as good !

  • nice that oc-transpo ONLY pulls the vids that dont reflect well on them , - and removes most of the videos because the drivers are lazy rude corrupt . and the service is waaaaay over-priced. and you know that OC TRANSPO doesent care about you - beacause they are just planning their next strike ! if the fare was a cent over $1.50 its a scam .

  • He's really good!

  • Driver of the year award goes to...

  • Damn, why can't this guy ever drive the 118 that I ride. LOL, hes got a voice.

  • I LOVE this song, I know it was a soundtrack in a movie, but I can't remember which one. --- Wait, I think I have it, was it Ghost? I know I associate with Patrick Swayze.

  • Wow... Ok. That's a voice.

    I wish my wife would sing to me like this on the way to work. Dang...

  • i had this driver on the 95 one day lol

  • "...........Next stop Baseline and Fisher"

  • This bus driver is an inspiration to all!! Maybe some record manager will sign him up...till then,I hope one day I am on his bus...thanks for posting.

  • He's got one hell of a voice -- fantastic!

  • I saw him back in the fall on Route 1 he's a great singer probably the best ride I ever had.

  • if anybody made fun of this guy on the bus i would take it upon myself to remove them from the bus and make them look like a ass

  • Complete 180 on what I was dealing with on the last few vids/search...

    OC NEEDS more drivers like him.

  • I got this bus driver a few days back. Nice voice.

  • i want some rap fuck

  • Cool! Not a bad signing either.

    It's too bad though. Bad OC experiences REALLY outweigh the good ones...

  • I was on the 95 today heading from Strandherd to Orleans and he didn't do much singing but his voice sounded familiar

  • we need more drivers like this. i get one driver almost every morning that gives everyone a hard time. and a few times a week on my way home, i get another mean guy that practically harasses any person that dresses differently (goths, skaters, punks etc..)

  • @Isamudyson84 you are right, on my first day of school I got harassed badly by a driver because I gave him 1 old bus ticket and he practically asked me to get out and said to him are you going to help me go to school or are you going to help me stay stupid for 1 bus ticket then he harassed me even more and I said said to him if you're not making enough maybe it's time for a career change..Algonquin is helping people like you and he shut up..I miss this singing bus driver he is THE BEST!

  • I love getting this driver, he makes any drive a fun one. Better than the crabby drivers that yell at anyone for anything.

  • he was on the 97X a few day's ago singing on the PA for all of us

  • he used to drive the 128 every morning.

  • He sang 'In the Ghetto'during christmas on the 95

  • Haha, I took this guy too

  • ditto.. waiting on long bus ride wud go smoother with drivers like him

  • this guy was driving the 85 i was on hes a real good singer he was even mentioned in the paper. I was shocked when i saw his comment that kids would swear at him and tell him to shut up. Thats a good example that people dont do good parenting. Rock on singing bus driver

  • they need more like him, its like theres a oldie romance movie LMAO

  • I saw him on 77, 71 .

  • same here, he was the only driver on any public trans i seen singing, hes a very nice middle aged man

  • wow what a good voice!

    what bus does he drive?

    I want his autograph lol

  • FINALLY! I've been trying so hard to get my boyfriend to give me the video HE got of this driver! I LOVE him!! :D I wish people would applaud him at the end every time though.

  • I had this guy! He drove the 3 hurdman during summer '08! He has such a great voice and livens your life a little. Great on the way to work.

  • I used to have this guy all the time, he was awesome.

  • I wish I'd seen more OC drivers like this before the strike :(

  • and nobody applauded at the end??? I was humming along here just listening to him! What a beautiful singing voice!

  • This makes me happy =)

  • I hate the union as much as anyone else right now...

    I've heard a driver on the 14 last winter singing like this in French...it was great.

  • i love this guy i had him all the time

  • That isn't fake, that bus driver drives the 118 all the time. He sings all day long.

  • i love this guy i've had him 3 times on the 95 whenever he's done a song evryone claps for him. he's one of the few cool bus drivers in this city

  • Nah, I think he *IS* the coolest driver in the city

  • Aww, what a sweet man. :)

    I miss the buses. :(

  • I like to imagine that drivers like him would be one of the 2% who voted not to strike in the first place!

  • Yeah, he probably is just so happy everyday realising how much he gets paid to drive the bus that he can't help but sing!

  • You know, they really don't get paid that much.

  • They are in fact quite overpaid with many benefits for their job in comparison to other jobs of similar nature.

  • Well, my father happens to be a bus driver and I know for a fact that they don't get paid anywhere near what they say in the news (the news claims that they get over $100,000/year). To get that much, a driver would have to work over 8 hours every day & work weekends too. However, concerning benefits, you may be right when it comes to other similar jobs. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not for the strike, and neither is my father for that matter, but I just wanted to clear up the whole money issue.

  • No!! He's the only one who doesn't get paid enough. People who do their best to spread happiness are PRICELESS.

  • Oh my god, Amen!

  • Fuck him and fuck all those selfish cunts! ship them all back on the boat!!

  • What a sweet sweet man. In light of the strike, it's drivers like him I really really feel badly for. Where was he for the Canadian Idol tryouts?

  • I love this guy! he used to drive the local bus in my area. it was a great pick me up when you'd get on his bus and get to listen to him! :)

  • i think this is the 85 hurdman lol

  • FUCK OC TRANSPO! STUPID HOES

  • what?!?! I just read that this guy was told to stop singing because people complained? and then he quit? I REALLY hope that is not true.Best bus driver ever!

  • I remember this guy!!! he used to drive the 95 route sometimes too!! Amazing voice, some people would make fun but most of us were totally blown off by his character.

  • what a HERO lol

  • What ever happened to all these awesome bus drivers?

    Now all we get are drivers who drive of or keep the door shut even if an elderly person is knocking on it, or running next to the door.

    Greedy union workers who care for nothing but themselves

  • I know exactly what you mean. I used to be really positive when I walked onto a bus and said hello, thank you, and goodbye because there were drivers out there like this guy or drivers who waited for the elderly people to find a seat before taking off so they wouldn't fall over. Now I'm never being polite to a bus driver again because of the disregard they've treated their riders with- unless it's this guy. :)

  • hahaha, this guy used to drive me to blair every day and he'd sing every morning.

  • aww hes so cute!!! =)

  • Should sing "Ticket to Ride".

  • He's got a good voice!

  • This guy rocks, what a nice guy :)

  • Is this guy still driving buses? I haven't seen him in a long time :( (forgetting the bus strike for a moment). He was great

  • when ever i take the oc (118) home from school i get one of 2 drivers one indian guy who is grumpy that dosent care about nothing or some bitchy lady who doesnt like people standing in the front of the bus

  • I know this driver, he is very good!

  • This guy is funny. I remember being on his bus a few times. It's a little awkward.

  • This is the only OC Transpo driver I like. Had him on the 85 to Rideau Centre. Very good man. He is a Franco-Ontarian.

  • omg i had this guy on the 85 and i loved him. i was having such a bad day and his singing seriously made my day. people were laughing and i told them to shut up and stop being so rude.

  • Yeah he was a great bus driver I ahd him on the 118. I heard that people were complaining about him too, miserable bastards.

  • lol i had him too on the 85 and the 14. i remember every day last year going to school, he would get to the vanier bridge and start singing

  • haha i got on the wrong bus when i had him but it was the best bus ride ever haha

    i heard a bus driver talking about him and supposedly people where complaining to the city and they made him stop singing and then he quit...if thats wrong i hope i have him again but if its true thats really sad an those people who complained are nazi's :O

  • I've had him =D the bus clapped once we got to st laurent XD it was nice =] he made me happy.

  • That's "Unchained Melody" he's singing,

    a song that ALL the great pop singers of the

    '50's sang - Harry Bellafonte, Elvis, etc.

    You kids are too young to remember Elvis!

  • anyone know which bus route he drives these days?

  • this guy's the best...he sang "A Bridge Over Troubled Water" last time i saw him

  • I had him today on the 85 Bayshore. He was great! He sung Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree and Here comes Santa claus. It made everyone smile. Angels come in all forms!

  • he drove me home to bayshore a few weeks ago.. "Your final destination: BAYSHORE SHOPPING CENTRE! The current time is 10:36. We hope you have enjoyed your ride with OCtranspo and hope to see you again soon!"

  • ps.. i mean that in the best way possible X)

  • his name is Yves :). he lives across the street from my parents. he's a weirdo. his kids are REALLY REALLY weird too.

  • lol this is awesome i hope I'll have him soon

  • dammit, i'd rather sit out front on the bike rack than listen to Ricky sing ... Oh Lucy!!!

  • i've had him

  • omg i heard this guy on a bus before)) i was so freaked out lol but everyone else seemed to be so cool about it

  • There was a bus driver on the 68 who sang this year... and i think he's the same one.

    I requested for him to sing Phantom of the Opera. :)

  • I used to see this guy every morning on the bus from Blackburn Hamlet to work.... it would put everyone in such a good mood! Everyone would applaud at the end too. I so miss that!

  • lool if i was a bus driver i would be cranky like driving back and fourth some crazy people/babys/other things lol so dont blame em likes hard

  • Yooh, this is sick. I think Ive been on the 95 with that driver before. He didnt sing too loud though. He was nice. Most of the bus drivers are assholes :\

  • Yeeee i know this bus driver hes sick

  • I LOVE this bus driver....like....i always get mean ones who yell :RIDEAU CENTER NEXT STOPPPPP...this dude just sing...and make people happy...

  • He drove the 95 about a year ago or something and I was on it. He has an INCREDIBLE voice & is a really sweet guy. It's great when you get drivers who make the trip enjoyable!

  • i heard of him in the news

    man all the bus drivers for the buses i take are fucked up. i had this one bus driver 85 was making jokes but some weren't funny but atleast he tried. and the other ones like the 7 and 2 are just plain mean

  • I think he drove the number 2 bus too, cause

  • i saw him a while ago too, I take the 118 once in a while

  • i read this in the news paper the other day

  • i know him he does the 118 in ottawa.

  • Dude this guy is awsome i wish i was on it.

  • dude, i love this guy! he's a freaking rock star! i miss taking the 118!

  • my cousin knows this guy. lol this is hilarious

  • He's my favourite OC Transpo driver. He's so nice and I love his singing. I think it's awesome when people clap when he finishes a song too. You should too, if you find yourself lucky enough to catch his bus.

    Is there an award out there that we can nominate him for? Maybe the "Best OC Transpo Driver Award"?

  • hey he acutually have a good voice XD

  • The singing bus driver! He's AWESOME! I get him sometimes on the 118 and he makes my day!

  • I kno this guy alwayz sings, as u can note most of his songs are all kinda sad lol I wonder why???

  • Holy SHIT!!!

    I know this Bus Driver, he is the best EVER :)

    He always sings, make my day. OC Transpo is AWSOME. If you are reading this (happ Bus DRIVER) you are the best have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

  • hey ive been on that bus n he always sings too lmao hes a nice guy

  • oc transpo is one of the best public trans system. It's very punctual, and with one transfer you can go to any place before it expires after one hour and half (only cost you about $2). Internally the bus is clean and the driver is kind too. The only not-so-well-done thing is that they do not stop completely because they have to catch up the schedule, so get ready to board the bus when it is coming.

  • I hope I have the driver next time I take the bus!

  • Ah, nothing like 4% of the OC drivers who actually enjoy their jobs :)

  • oh my god he's my hero. I wish someone would do this while I was on the OC transpo lol.

  • I wish I had this driver everyday. But instead I get stuck with the 2

    I hate the 2

    So damn unreliable.

  • Ha ha #2, good times, to the n.a.c.

    haha he's good though

  • Ive had this guy drive my bus so many times...he so great.

  • He sounds like a pretty good singer too!

    My favourite bus driver is the guy that does the 4 Downtown. I haven't heard him sing but he's always in a great mood and greets EVERY person that gets on the bus.

    It's amazing what a positive attitude can do to such a simple thing as a bus ride. Makes it an enjoyable trip for everyone.

  • Oh man, that dude on the 4, he's the nicest bus driver I've ever even heard of ~ I've never seen him upset in my life, and he's always outrageously courteous. I had to take a group on there once and he even introduced himself to me ~ such a nice guy. Too bad guys like that are such a rarity in the OC Trans busdriver world.

  • LOL, that's awesome . . . . holy crap it's slow going :p I love OC Transpo drivers like this . . . .earlier in the year I was taking the 1 home and the driver had decorated the bus in all sens gear and had the game on!

  • lol i remember that guy he used to sing alot on route 2 all the way to downtown

  • oh man there is a 135 driver that sings to us all the time, i like him. i clap all the time

  • Lol thats awesome

  • wow! awesome driver!!! i wish all OCTranspo drivers are this jolly. Ease the stress... I give my applause for this guy!.. i'm from Ottawa. Hope I could ride his bus... =)

  • lol i use to have this guy drive me to work in the morning by hawthorne road awesome guy i brought him free drinks and stuff all the time and he said he drove the 118 fridays. i don tknow if hestill does

  • IM FROM OTTAWA..LOVE THE OC

  • Haha... i've had him before! He's awesome!! and yes, most definitely Ottawa ppl r assholes for not appreciating this man's positivety!! Ppl should be saying THANK YOU!

  • LOOL. awesome hahaha i wish i run into this guy

  • The people on the bus are jerks for not applauding. I love it when I get cheery bus drivers... doesn't happen often though.

  • yeah, i can't believe no-one would clap. what a bus of lame fecking people!

  • no clapping? what gives ottawa riders

  • There's a singing driver with a mustache who drives the 182 from Kanata to LeBreton. He comes by the Alcatel building at 4:20 or so. That's as of late August, 2007.

  • haha thats so awesomee. i think i had him a few times .

    only get that shit heree.

  • yeah there are two of them that sing is that style, I've seen them the 95 orleans, 85 st. laurent, and sometimes the 8 but not often. they're very good but who would complain? fackin pricks

  • That's f*ckin' awesome, I dont know that I've ever had this guy but I think I was taking the 97 that day.

  • I think I used to have this guy as a regular on the 7 a year ago

  • Fantastic. Good to see people like this making other people happy. Great voice.

  • he's actually quite good.

  • This guy used to drive me on the 95 every morning! He's awesome everyone would always clap for him afterwards

  • Thank you! This bus drive is great!

  • That's my Dad singing! No seriously it is!

  • then tell him he rocks like woah.

  • lolll really thats amazing I rode on the bus with him before and he sings sooo good lol pretty impresive

  • what bus number does he drive now? lol

  • Your dad has a really nice voice...I use to take the 2 regularly a couple of years ago and he drove it...It was really nice to hear him sing...

  • It almost makes me want to take the 118.

    Almost.

  • I've had this guy a couple times on the 95. He's seriously awesome.

  • AWESOME! Anyone know what route this was?

  • Oops... Didn't read the description before I posted.
