I’d like a public contest so everyone has a chance to try out!
Lots of discussion on twitter about this, and I don’t like the idea of just blindly giving it to someon... everyone should have some input in this. I wanted a vote or contest for unique door close chimes too, but that didn’t happen.

The OMSF will not be part of Doors Open this year, but another Ion-related structure will be: the King St grade separation.

Three tones would be good, but just some different notes, I think. SkyTrain (Vancouver) has an ascending three-tone chime and it's very ethereal.
I've played around on my keyboard with some fun ones, I'd love to submit them or be involved in the process. Four notes is good too.

I like Sesame Street.

How does the regulation work for this? Is it just that there needs to be a warning tone, or there needs to be a specific warning tone? Timio mentioned Sesame Street, which is the TTC subway tone (C, A, F or 'sun-ny-days') and the warning bell at TMMC for some reason.
But I think "take off, eh!" should be considered. Ion riders would appreciate being called hosers.

Fun fact: “the TTC Chime” isn’t. It’s the Bombardier Chime, or more specifically; the UTDC Chime! It was first introduced on the ICTS (Linear Induction Motor powered) project, and since then many systems around the world have inherited it.
Everyone in Ontario thinks it belongs to the TTC, but it’s just because they have so much Bombardier equipment. We got stuck with it because Metrolinx wanted it on the Crosstown vehicles for consistency, and our order is a slice of theirs... or was. Perhaps now that we’re out of that attachment, we can have some creative freedom...

So the Bombardier chime, more specifically the UTDC chime, is not specifically specified in the regulation, just that some type of warning be implemented? Meaning we could actually use the chicken dance if that's what we decided on?

Wouldn't the Chicken Dance chime just encourage people to do the chicken dance in the doorway rather than warn that the doors are closing and people need to get out of the way
