Canada Line: First Look

Four days before opening to the public, Vancouver’s new Canada Line rapid transit system was visited by CityCaucus.com. Here is a 10-minute ride of the entire route, featuring footage of each station on the line.

    It looks like the line 4-Yeallow an Line 2-green? of São Paulo Metrô System (Subway)

    Even? this is better than the Torotno subway, toronto cannot even afford to make a line compared to Vancouver

    at 4:06 why does it sound diffrent? when it says “this train is for richmond brighhouse”

    Looks pretty good. The stations seem a little small, but I guess the capability to have high frequencies on the Canada Line should hopefully be enough to avoid overcrowding of the station platforms.? Now if only they could find the money to create a SkyTrain subway line servicing the Broadway corridor out to UBC… Vancouver would finally have a great rail rapid transit “backbone” upon which streetcars and lightrail could be added in the future to enhance & strengthen that backbone.

    Can’t wait until we get the Elginton Crosstown in Toronto. I hope it’s? like the Canada Line!

    @CityCaucus Yes I understand, but Vander Zalm should have put the Canada Line in @ the same time when the Expo Line was being installed. In the Netherlands there is a train station? right @ Schiphol airport, has been there for many years, same thing all over Europe @ all the major international airports. It just makes sense.

    No the Expo Line (aka Skytrain) was opened in 1986. This service just opened? in August 2009.

  11. deepseadinko says:

    Its a great service! Why wasn’t this put in place back? in 1984/85 for Expo? Would have made a lot more sense to have it then!
