Spontaneous singing on Canadian buses

Passengers on Ottawa buses were breaking into song Friday to show their support for OC Transpo’s silenced singing bus driver.

The transit sing-song was organized by passengers who were upset when driver Yves Roy was told earlier this month to stop belting out songs along his route. OC Transpo told him the singing had provoked about a dozen complaints.

Julie Seguin said the singers were reacting to a “ridiculous” decision by the transit authority.

“For once, there’s a really positive thing happening in the bus … and they shut him down,” she said.
