Yes it is on average but if you actually take into account the station spacing as I said it is obvious that Skytrian would be faster if they had the same spacing. Is the Skytrain better than BART? no. They are both different systems that have different designs and goals.

You would gain the most from linear induction motors and automation in the stations so the only gains that you would get is n any corners that you would need to slow done on. Larger the spacing the less you gain. That being said anymore talk about Skytrian specifics should probably be in the Vancouver section.
