Bruno Mars is taking the mic at Stadium-Chinatown Station, adding a famous voice to SkyTrain during his Vancouver concert run.<\/p>\n
After inviting public transit riders yesterday to play musical detective with a series of emoji clues<\/a>, TransLink has officially confirmed the singer as SkyTrain\u2019s newest celebrity guest voice \u2014 and its first music artist to take on the role.<\/p>\n Starting today, Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026, passengers passing through Stadium-Chinatown Station will hear a special pre-recorded voice announcement from Mars periodically on the days of his five BC Place Stadium concerts<\/a>. His message will join the station\u2019s usual announcements.<\/p>\n The dates to listen to his voice announcements are Oct. 14, 16, 17, 20, and 21, matching the dates of his Vancouver stadium concerts<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mars has two announcements:<\/p>\n \u201cTo everybody taking the train, it\u2019s Bruno Mars. I can\u2019t wait to see you all. It\u2019s about to get real romantic tonight. I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTo everybody on the train, it\u2019s Bruno Mars. Thank you so much for coming to The Romantic Tour. I hope to see you all very soon. I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd0a \u201cTo everybody taking the train, it\u2019s Bruno Mars. I can\u2019t wait to see you all. It\u2019s about to get real romantic tonight. I love you.\u201d \u2014 Kenneth Chan (@iamkennethchan) October 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n The official announcement today solves the mystery behind yesterday\u2019s TransLink social media teaser,<\/a> which asked people to identify song titles from emojis and use those answers to guess the voice.<\/p>\n A treasure chest pointed to \u201cTreasure,\u201d a ring and pointing finger suggested \u201cMarry You,\u201d and a padlock paired with an angel hinted at \u201cLocked Out of Heaven.\u201d The clues had fans overwhelmingly arriving at the same answer in the social media comments.<\/p>\n The collaboration with Warner Music Canada also comes with a practical benefit for the public transit authority. TransLink notes that it will earn advertising revenue from the partnership.<\/p>\n \u201cMost people don\u2019t expect to hear Bruno Mars while they\u2019re heading to work, school, or a concert. That\u2019s what makes this so much fun, because it brings the concert experience to SkyTrain customers,\u201d said TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn in a statement.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a unique way to brighten someone\u2019s trip while generating additional revenue that helps support transit service across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n Mars follows two other familiar local celebrity names who have lent their voices to SkyTrain: actor Seth Rogen in 2018<\/a> and Canadian soccer star Christine Sinclair<\/a> during the 2026 FIFA World Cup period.<\/p>\n His Vancouver concert schedule has also grown considerably since the original announcement. Initially booked for a single BC Place Stadium show, the visit expanded to five performances in response to demand.<\/p>\n Fans heading to the stadium are encouraged to take public transit and leave extra time for the crowds.<\/p>\n And while \u201cLeave the Door Open\u201d may have helped give away the mystery singer, passengers should still let those SkyTrain doors close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bruno Mars is taking the mic at Stadium-Chinatown Station, adding a famous voice to SkyTrain during his Vancouver…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":932851,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194298],"tags":[49,48,55],"class_list":["post-932850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-vancouver","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-vancouver"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/932850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=932850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/932850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/932851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=932850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=932850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=932850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
