@@Saucy-ws6jc no I don't do that you think I'm crazy i never do that come on man

[@marioiacolucci]

@@Saucy-ws6jc I always watch the road if I hit someone it's my ass on the line but never did hit anyone I got rear ended once back in 2015 long story I don't have the car anymore I have a different car now

[@GammieT]

I lol'd when he pushed the bell and grinned the silly grin and said "I like that"~~

[@user-qv2ur2bw3z]

Lionel was my subway instructor on line 1 back then it was know as the YUS he is great instructor. I met a ton of the instructors with doing recert every 5 years. We are well trained they really mean it when they say stop.

[@Kipling45]

Rick Mercer was operating CLRV 4194, now it’s almost 2021 and it got retired in 2019 and is probably now scrapped!

[@marioiacolucci]

They have the new street cars

[@Meada0]

2:14 - haha! Camera crew needing to hold on for dear life ;D And understandable that Terry was worried. The subway and street cars are on tracks whereas a bus iiiiiiiiiiis rather free.

[@LeslieToronto1971]

I'd love to meet Him. He is such.a riot. His laugh at 3.32 is the way I laugh and I too do the "clap" thing too. Yes, I have the sense of humour of a 9 year old.

[@Canucks19702012]

I watched 15 second and hit like cause RMR is ALWAYS great!

[@BobMcCoy]

Best episode!

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Never saw that place in my life before in Toronto. That's interesting at what the Toronto Transit Commission has. :)

[@ahurafarahani7751]

[@MrFreeCookie]

Why are all the RMR vids choppy?

[@richy77]

[@Saucy-ws6jc]

Wireless camera and this is from 2000s

[@bubilicious909]

[@haythamthabit42]

rick is so funny i wish i could meet him

[@radanju3]

That's freaking awesome!

[@MetroElfren]

4:05 always gives me the laughs!

[@keithsy75]

TTC has seen better days.

[@marioiacolucci]

It's been years I've been on the subway

[@alexandrasahoye3177]

Hi Lionel nice to see you good job as usual you are the best .

[@mrtransitfan647]

4:22 is really funny it made me laugh my ass off

[@CupcakeAndTea]

@AirosArrow I find it runs just fine, delays happen everywhere. Add least you have a bus/ streetcar/ subway coming between every 5-30 min. Where I am from we have 1 bus for 1 route and the wait time if you miss your bus is between 30 min to 2 hours sometimes

[@thevultrantransituniverse1487]

I just rode bus #1111!

[@rtsoccerplayer]

that looks like fun

[@transitvidss]

0:03 H5 foam :)

[@funvideofan1625]

I MISS The H5 :(

[@coastaku1954]

@@funvideofan1625 T1 is better, it's essentially an H6 with wider doors, better controls, and a sick motor noise!

[@coastaku1954]

@@DonutsIceCreamAndCottenCandy Meh, T1 is waaaaaay better, better than the TR actually

[@DonutsIceCreamAndCottenCandy]

​@@coastaku1954The old t1 was the best

[@amandacousins928]

Don’t let the polar bear drive the bus

[@JohnnyAACuser17]

you miss the Scarborough RT :P

[@CallMeDrewChristian]

The RT is automatic driving and the driver has to control the doors

[@Buzzlybee]

OMG! RM, you give me new meaning to: Take The Car (as if we already didn't have enough!)

[@stevenlee687]

[@Lorijenken]

ADAM!!!!!! he was the best for TTC !

[@bb3ca201]

Crazy Buttboarding Guy I think so, too. At least he didn't jump ship like Byford did

[@emmajane8844]

Man that lady at the end does know how to relax like come on its Rick he's awesome u can't talk to him like that!!!

[@Saucy-ws6jc]

She is a good instructor. Rick can kill someone if he is not paying attention

[@schnuurtchke]

I want to go on the TTC

[@liftshaulscooks]

The only Canadians who use public transit are living in cities. We have a huge country. If we stop supporting the non-urban parts of our country we are giving it away.

[@ttcgeek]

He must have done ran around the subway ops building on a Saturday.

[@stevenlee687]

Cool he is lucky

[@Freepepsi42]

@memoranda1 it only takes one bus driver to leave early from a station to make every other bus late. And wheelchairs can easily take a good 5 minutes. And then there is traffic. And then they are cutting service on the 85 which is an extremely busy line. And they deserve to have the break, they sit in a seat for 8 hours, take shit from people for being late (caused by the driver before not picking everybody up and leaving it for the next).

[@lynnshell78]

rick you should have droveing the bus like in the speed movie ha ha

[@liftshaulscooks]

Train of Death!! That was ok but if the Varney team were with you it would have been more exciting. :)

[@utitied4341]

Nice

[@marilynmonroeaviationhd]

Do a video with Cmbc Translink with 99 B Line

[@marioiacolucci]

I would love to drive the bus

[@TTTEFAN-ke3xp]

4:00 the number of the bus is 1111

[@thecomputernerd5334]

A few years ago i was on the subway so the driver offered me to drive and i drove the train :P

[@annaLaPointe]

He did a better job than the TTC, sadly

[@InfernalSatan]

I never thought streetcars are difficult to drive

[@Sequialtera]

Dring rush hr getin l8 coz of 2 opertrs r still talkin 4 5-mins b4 moving the train. operators switch busses while in an intersections (very unsafe) aftr passin a supervisor to check, the driver stop 4 a coffee on the next intersection. Driver switched to "out of service" and have all passengers off after a university stdent hmbly asked y his pass isnt valid 2 operatrs not movin n talkin on the excalator blcking people to pass, nd alot more FU ttc! tax robers i hope u get deunionized!!!

[@Sapardi]

@gilldudeey This is false.

[@memoranda1]

as of this moment the ttc has become one of the worst services the bus drivers specially my god i understand u get paid to drive a bus but ppl dont get paid while u go on ur 10 min brake it is ridiculous honestly 30 bucks an hour i dont understand why u would do that i know u have a schedule to meet but still u r frustrating ppl and if we complain of course ur excuse will b u want better service u will raise the fare
