SkyTrain-straddling social media stunt sparks B.C. police investigation

Transit police are investigating after a social media daredevil posted a video earlier this month of himself straddling two SkyTrain cars while riding through Vancouver.

Metro Vancouver Transit Police say the incident occurred an a first generation model of the SkyTrain, known as the Mark 1, which consists of six individual cars, rather than one combined line. The man who posted the video would have been able to access the section between the cars by boarding while the SkyTrain was stopped at a station, Const. Travis Blair said in a statement.
