Yeah, exactly. Not counting Expo, there will have been four expansions of the system: Millennium, Canada, Evergreen, UBC. Going by ridership on the buses that they're replacing, the order should have been UBC (i.e. Broadway west of Commercial), Canada, Millennium, Evergreen.
Even if the order is one of cost per rider, Canada is about to drop below Millennium or already has. Evergreen is a bit higher than both and UBC is a bit higher than Evergreen, but frankly I feel like the ridership projection is lowballed, and in addition if they'd built it first they could've probably gotten away with cut-and-cover and reduced the cost. Probably the Canada Line would've had to be bored then but that would be just 6.5 km vs. 12 for UBC.
