(Calgary) Bored on the daily bus ride from home to work and back? The Calgary Transit Corporation thinks karaoke might turn you on.

The agency announces that starting next week, a “karaoke bus” will be able to bring a bit of entertainment to random rides across the Alberta city over the summer.
The public transport company promises that travelers will never know when they might board this “karaoke bus” and “be dazzled by the unique voice of another traveler”.
A Calgary Transit spokesperson said the “karaoke bus” would supplement existing routes, rather than replace them.
Stephen Tauro explains that this bus is part of a larger initiative to bring Calgarians back to public transit, after a drop in ridership caused by the pandemic.
Earlier this year, Greater Toronto-based Go Transit also brought an artistic touch to travelers’ daily journeys. In partnership with the Luminato festival, the public transport company offered travelers a performance in which a fish in a suit and tie gets rid of its urban costume and rediscovers its aquatic vocation.
