  • i LOVE HIS FRENCH ACCENT

  • i cant believe people do something about the driver but not about the people riding blaring shitty music so everyone can hear. i would rather hear a calm singing voice then music i dont like being blared beside me in the morning or whatever time of day it is. fuck you to those who complained.

  • does this guy ever get a soar throat?

  • this guy is amazing, why can't more bus drivers be like this....instead we get fucked up pricks who yell at autistic kids.

    it's horrible that they forced him to stop, but they don't do shit when passengers are being harassed and verbally abused by bus drivers. good fucking job OC Transpo, what am i paying for? late buses that are driven by crude fucks.

    any seriously, if anyone had a problem with him singing, couldn't have you just politely asked him to stop? i'm sure he would have, but no

  • oh im in tht odd part of YouTube again or is this just oc transpo at its best

  • Click 0:41 over and over

  • 0:41

  • steering wheel squeek at :41 is better

  • I hope I get this bus driver when I move to Ottawa next summer :)

  • @jennifer23ish unfortunately that is not possible, Oc Transpo fired him. There are a lot of petitions online to try to get him his job back. He was a great driver. Had him a few times and it always made me smile.

  • @KitKatPack28 that is sad ,I hope he gets his job back ,we have bus drivers in Edmonton that can be quite the jerks at times not all of them but quite a few ,You wouldn't catch one of them singing .

  • if his sing does not distract him from his driving the bust than let him sing there is a driver in Surrey BC that would pull into a bus stop and say "All Aboard". I like that it is differieant and makes the trip a bit nicer

  • Seems like such a sweet guy.

    Did you know that OC Transpo threatened to FIRE HIM if he didn't stop singing? I would not want to be a bus driver in this city!

  • On December 24 at 8 o'clock in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Johnson was found dead. Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death. His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened. Turns out he was still signed in myspace. She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repose a chain letter. If you don't repose this to six videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. sorry don't want to to die

  • @ProTeGeTiMiiDz lmao dont fall for that

  • @ProTeGeTiMiiDz your a retard

  • Love it!!!!! Have you ride with the trivia driver????

  • too Bad that he get fired D:

  • amazing! 

  • Hes the kind of person that just makes the world better

  • who ever disliked this video is a loser

  • I've had him a couple of times, always made everyone smile on the bus he was nice and cheers everybody up! I can't believe OC stoped him from making people happy.

  • OMG! I want this bus driver!

  • While I agree he sings nicely , the singing is not everyones taste and bus drivers make people who play mp3s too loud turn them down. So in my opinion this is just them being impartial. I am very glad he enjoys his job more people should have his attitude, but if he is allowed to sing then it gives everyone permission to play music loudley and if everyone did that it would be very bad!! saying that I would never complain I would just let him sing!

  • I'd love to take the bus knowing the singing driver was at the wheel.

    I'd probably join in if he didn't mind.Keep singing Yves !

    Sing out loud, sing out strong

    Sing of good things not bad

    Sing of happy not sad

    Make it simple to last your whole life long

    Don't worry that it's not good enough

    For anyone else to hear

    JUST SING !

  • I've rode on this guys bus before.  He's a real sweetheart. He just makes your day. You get on the bus bored and angry, but leave with a smile and a happy heart.

  • I love this guy. He was a doll and a great singer

  • Old fogies of ottawa should fuck off.

    Also, listen to the beautiful City of Ottawa POT HOLES in the road heavily used by tourists.

  • I've been on his bus a coupe times, I actually paused my mp3 to listen to him sing.

  • @tioxicalien Same here and I have Bose QC15s.

  • Let him sing!!!!! He makes us all feel better!! Please let him sing!!

  • He cant fuckin sing hey sing some let there be rock or alex harvey gang bang maybe you'd still have a job.

  • @TheBonejumper123 you are very ignorant haha.

  • @TheBonejumper123 Aren't you an ignorant prick.

    Please, do the world a favor and run into a bullet you fuck.

  • I've been on his busses before, he's awesome. Makes everyone smile a bit. People are so anti people and happiness on the busses. Why not cheer everyone up and bring people together in some way? It

    s not noise it's peace. Let him sing.

  • Damn... why a bus driver have to sing their song ? This is noise for me and i hope i'll not meet someone like him when i've to take a bus. You want to sing ? Fine, do it alone when there's nobody around and choose a new career.

  • Beautiful! I would love to have a ride with him!

  • It looks like he's paying attention to the road... It's sad that he can't even show his joy for life without people complaining about it. Let the guy sing!

  • this guys good! i cant believe i hear this guy was told to stop singing or find a new job, thats terrible! its not like hes not making time to make the stop annoucements. im sorry, but its for reasons like this that there WILL NEVER BE WORLD PEACE. because there will always be assholes in the world holding us back.

  • I can appreciate his antics, but seriously, drive the bus, and pay attention to road.

  • @ALPHADOG3 unlike people who probably drive horrible (aka you) this man drives the same road every day, when u do that it becomes natural instinct knowing where to go. when i drive around my neighbourhood im on autopilot because i know the roads so damn well i barely pay attention, and ive never crashed once

  • best bus driver i had he sang have you ever seen the rain by ccr and he nailed it

  • compliment to the singing bus driver in ottawa! awsome job. every bus driver should be singing to cheer up people that have miserable days at work! no body bitches and complaints when there is a crying baby onboard on a bus. what difference does it make when someone is singing? at least sining is soo much better then a crying baby! give the guy his freedom back! he sure as heck deserves it!

  • May I suggest a flurry of musicians start playing at OC transit way stops in support of Yves?!

    The fact that OC reacts so quickly to this foolish complaint by a few riders but ignores the FLOOD of complaints about overcrowding and terrible accessibility to service (given the cost, too) is unacceptable.

    This 'silencing' of music is pure absurdity.

  • the guy is actually a jerkwad who wouldn't even let kids listen to walkmans back in the day. now its his turn to be told to shut up!

  • :-D

  • This man is a great addition to Ottawa

  • This would have defiantly would have brightened my commute :)

  • I've had this dude a few times, always made my bus ride a bit brighter :)

  • @ShowALittleBackbone i don't ever take the bus but i think i would of sang with him and he would of made me smile for the rest of the day, he's a happy man so what's wrong with that? we need more people like him in our world, people are too stressed and caught up in their problems to open up to someone different and happy, relax people you might enjoy it if you let go

  • What song is he singing??

  • Lâche pas la patate yves! Lâche pas!

  • I recorded him too, but my camera phone didn't have sound. He's very friendly and does encores on request! ♥

  • play some dubstep

  • On another unrelated note, from now on no one is allowed to outwardly show happiness on OC Transpo buses. This measure has been taken in order to appease those who decide to see the glass as half empty.

  • Chanter est bon pour le moral et fait sourire les gens.

    n'arrêter surtout pas de chanter M. vous allez vivre vieux et les boss prenez en de la graine vous allez être moins constiper.

  • All this recent exposure, this bus is gonna have line ups just to get on!!! LOVE IT!

  • Disclaimer: I generally find the people who comment on the Likes/Dislikes to be the most insufferable posters on Youtube.

    That said, this video currently has 102:1 likes-to-dislikes. WELP! VideoManOttawa, I believe it is in everyone's best interest that you delete this video posthaste in order to accommodate that one sourpuss that didn't like it. I'm pretty sure mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa city council will back me up on this!

  • CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HAVE THIS GUY COMMENDED FOR MAKING THE BUS A BETTER PLACE! THE OC CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER IS 613-842-3600 PLEASE CALL AND GET GET THIS GUY SINGING AGAIN!

  • This made it to Montreal on a very well knowed Morning Show .... high five guys to support him! Bravo! We will do our best to support him as well. This makes no F^&^* sens. I would love to have a driver like that, this must start your day in such a good way!!!!!!!!!!

  • such a nice bus driver!! Pourquoi voulez-vous le faire taire? Personnellement je le trouve original et il devrait continuer et même que si je le rencontre un jour je le féliciterais! Je trouve que ça donne de la joie et du bonheur sur notre société d'individualiste!

  • Laisser le donc faire, si son bilan routier est positif et que les gens aime l'entendre chanter!!

  • Je préfère un cauffeur de bonne humeur qui chante qu'un air bête anonyme.

  • (: I take the 95 route to and from school nearly every day, and I've had him on numerous occasions. Not only does he sing, but he is-- by far-- the most courteous bus driver I've ever had. At each station he announces what important other routes pass through there, and what 'landmarks' (eg. shopping centres, services, etc.) are nearby. He greets you politely when you board and exit the bus, wishes you a good day/evening. Makes your day, pretty much! M Yves Roy, vous etes simplement charmant!

  • Aww so cute!

  • Route 95 to Barrhaven just after 4 PM at Algonquin College you'll catch this guy.

  • omg this guy is the best :D he should do CANADA GOT TALENT

  • With a couple of singing lessons, he could probably quit his job as a driver.

  • I hope I get to see this guy! :D

  • He is the best bus driver <3

  • This could be cool every once in awhile. Like for the people who don't take the bus very often and get a "neat" little surprise. But if this were the bus that I had to take to work or college every day it would get very old, very fast.

  • @SunBloatedCorpse That's what headphones are for. Public transportation. Don't like it? Headphones or get another ride. Simple as that.

  • so mayor Twatson wants him to stop singing - Dear mayor - GFYS!

  • Keep singing man! The world could use more of this! His singing helps everyone to put the stress and worries that we are all going through out of our minds for a while. Its a good thing. Bravo!

  • I had this driver several years ago and my wife and I absolutley loved riding on his bus!

  • this is an amazing man who goes beyond driving and makes it `fun` to be on the bus... noone complains when a driver is grumpy and ottawa banned this driver from singing?!!???

  • I was on this guy's route a few years ago, and I was always happy when I got him. It really made my morning. Every one who got on the bus was always so shocked/amazed, and the way they'd smile and turn to each other was so enjoyable to see.

  • OC TRANSPO LET HIM SING!!! thumbs up if you agree!!! <3

  • It so unfair that he's not allowed to sing anymore. I had heard about him from my mom a lot. I only had the pleasure of being on a bus he drove once. He was lovely.

  • Bravo!!! what a way to brighten up the day :)

    

  • wow, typical Ottawa to listen to the few and not the many. STAND UP this is ridiculous to silence such awesomeness.

  • I took his bus on a visit to Ottawa couple years ago and OMG....I wish WISH other drivers could be this personable and nice and friendly!!! TTC needs a lesson!!!

    I sincerely hope he gets to sing again!!!

  • that would be horrible if this poor guy lost his job because of asshole complaining

  • Apparently it's wrong to sing but ok to tell a passenger to "shut the hell up".

  • I've had this bus driver several times and love it. One time a lady got on and rudely told him to stop singing so he poliety said ok and stopped. Then SHE popped in her ear buds and listened to her ipod! I love how anyone will complain about anything just because they can....

  • @Erin1984 I can just imagine how many people who did enjoy the singing and saw her do this, were tempted to walk up and yank those earbuds out harshly, and hoping her eardrums came out with them... what nasty little B**ch Trog!

  • Attention folks! Here's how we can support this guy. Call up OC Transpo and complain that he *stopped* singing. If bitching and whining is what leads to them forcing him to be quiet, then maybe we need to do a little bitching ourselves. I guarantee the vast majority of riders approve of this driver, or at least respect his freedom to sing in happiness. Let the majority speak loud, and drown out the handful of jerks who called to complain about him.

  • @boldfingers

    I agree, I wrote a formal letter but others can call this number 613 842 3600 . truthfully, the miserable busriders that filed complaints are probably stuck in an office all day and come home to 5 bratty kids and their cheating husband/wives.

  • @boldfingers Thanks for your idea, I just called them

  • @boldfingers Exactly what i was thinking! We should all complain and then see how many complaints they get that he aint singing! 12 complaints in 12months! thats insane! lets give oc transpo 3000 complaints in one day!

  • Support Mr. Roy at the Facebook page

    singingbusdriver

  • How mean-spirited those bureaucrats at OC Transpo are! Some of them need to get a life!

  • they stopped him from singing :( it's on Ottawa Citizen

  • baht ee doze zing vary nice, ya?

  • Comment removed

  • I have spotted the mysterious singing driver on the 5 st Laurent and the 7 st Laurent

  • @zstar69 Yup.. I remember on these routes. I wish more drivers were like this. He's got personality and is actually willing to listen and give you accurate information.

  • HAHAHAHA I HAVE BEEN ON HIS BUS LIKE 5 times!!!! Cannot believe I found this video. This bus driver is the fucking shit and always love his trips

  • I wish he was on my bus route!

  • I had this driver as well, he is a very nice man and a great singer, made the ride home more enjoyable, that is for sure.

  • I once took his bus after a really long day, I was tired and pretty down in the dumps to be honest. But then he started singing and it made my day :)

  • This man is the TOP!!!!! Great voice too!

  • Better than the Anne Murray version!

  • best bus driver ever!!!!!!! he deserves a promotion!!!!!!!!

  • What bus does this man drive?

  • @JessicaKennyMusic usually the 131

  • I've personally had this driver, somebody give this man a raise! =D

  • I wish we had bus drivers like this :(

  • Saw him again today on the 95. :D

  • Comment removed

  • He is awesome!! I wished there were more people like him who enjoyed his job! I remember there was this other one in the route 156 who thought he was a guide and we were tourists... He said stuff like "and that concrete station over there is Queenstation! I hope you enjoyed your ride"

  • Lol I've never had this driver... wish I had though!!

  • I've had him before as a driver! He's awesome! There is another guy who sang the stops out before the buses got the Automated systems

  • Haha ol' Yves. Hes a good man! Hes french, I know him from a school run special, the 643 couple years ago. Use to talk to him all the time. Haven't seen him a such a long time tho.

  • I'm not a fan of OCTranspo's online Travel Planner, it doesn't seem to work well

  • @NewVenari what the fuck. That has nothing to do with this. Fuck off stupid BITCH

  • @matthmatthmatth Oh wow, another 12 year old on the internet.

  • i love this guy he rocks live
