Quite useless for me as the Canada Line doesn't even meet with the Skytrain except at Waterfront. Kind of stupid for people in the east to go to airport or Richmond.
Now if they expand the Millenium line, then we're talking.

dL | If you want to go to Richmond, it is still way faster than take the bus.

richmond -> SFU
take a richmond station (eg brighouse or yvr etc ) to waterfront, then take the skytrain from there?
seems simple enough!

they really need to connect like the station on marine drive and cambie to the 22nd station with like an express bus, not the 100 bus which stops every 2 blocks. they need like almost a shuttle service
tat would make life a lot more convinent

This'll make it a bit easier to go to Richmond from Surrey. I would rather take trains for an hour than bus down. Also, I can go to malls that my family has never visited since some of the buses are a pain in the ass to get to on those routes.

seems simple enough! | if you want to compare routes the Canada Line is bus number 980 on translinks route planner
canada line does have the advantage of reliability and not being impeded by traffic Quote:

Does this mean that it's not possible to have more frequent service where expo and millenium don't overlap (eg. vcc <=> columbia, columbia <=> surrey)? | I believe that current skytrain (not canada line) expo line fruns at near max headways, under 2mins. The best way to increase service is the addition of more 2 trains A-B A-B (thats what translink is doing right now with the new order) , and in the future A-C-B A-C-B which is possible (Beijing airport express same tech as skytrain is A-C-D-B) here are the canada line frequencies
Until 7 a.m. Mon-Fri, 9 a.m. Sat and 10 a.m. Sun/Holidays 6 mins
Then until 6 p.m. every day 4 mins
6 p.m. - 11 p.m. 6 mins
11 p.m. until end of service 10 mins dont forget to double in richmond since trains alternate between brighouse/richmond and yvr sea island comparison between existing skytrain after 11pm
Skytrain Expo - 8 minutes*
Skytrain Millennium - 8 minutes*
Skytrain Canada - 20 minutes**
* combines Waterfront to Columbia to provide 4 minute headways
** combines Richmond and Airport branches Waterfront to Bridgeport to provide 10 minute headways Quote:

add the Vancouver City Center is at Granville and West Georgia for a quick transfer to skytrain via the street and during mall hours there is an entrance to Pacific Center next to SEARS.

I'm not pro snc or protransbc, I would have preferred for the line to have been funded by government not p3 partnership, for many reasons but mostly because they only planned the line to be adequate for service, and not expandable unlike existing skytrain.
fyi inTransitBC was renamed to proTransBC (private operator)after Canada Line construction was complete, but on the trains they put inTransitBC lol.

hope that becomes a reality..we need a east-west b-line | from what I've heard Broadway/Commerical is slowly being rebranded as Broadway-Commercial Drive, but a software technicality is preventing the announcements to be the same for what the system believes is two stations
once the future millennium line is completed BroadwayCityHall has been planned already to create a megastation for the cambie station including a future entrance on the northwest side of the intersection in the newish saveon-foods
some jackass has already graffitied a street entrance to the Canada Line downtown!
oh btw someone has posted tonnes of daily photos of the Canada Line for the last few years at http://canadalinephotos.blogspot.com/
btw i'd like to correct some of the marketing of the Canada Line faq posted above
its true that that Canada Line cars are wider but how are Canada Line trains longer when most Canada Line stations are 40m platforms, expandable to 50m (some underground stations are already 50m because of the difficulty of future expansion) ?
Skytrain stations are all longer already at 80m and in the works to be expanded!
Canada Line tech is not more "modern" its the same old stuff used in traditional subway rail, LIM is more modern as it was created in the late 70s.
