Yeah, for sure newer Skytrain lines can last longer than the original Expo infrastructure. It's also important to note that new infrastructure like the Canada Line has been built to mitigate the risks associated with climate change, whereas older structures did not take that into account. The Broadway corridor won't be an exception to this. Whatever is built will be designed with even more stringent regulations to match the ever-increasingly dire climate change forecast.
