Wikipedia suggests that the test system Vancouver got was a 1km, single-station run, or about a quarter of the Expo 86 track; it was the Expo dollars that enabled its extension, I would imagine. (That line is far larger than that now, of course.) Take away the Expo funding and it's entirely possible that Hamilton would have no more than that initial stretch of of aging elevated rail lashed around its core today, almost 30 years later.
