On the other hand, Skytrain to Arbutus is likely to focus more riders onto that route, so it's unlikely that we'd see those kinds of savings.
by the time the broadway subway opens in 10 years, todays b-line fleet will be ready to be retired, and may be replaced with fewer new vehicles to save $$

with all the new mk iii skytrain cars arriving as 4-car trainsets in the next few years, will this mean they're moving all the (reliable or refurbshed or not) mk i trains to millennium line to run on the broadway subway, with newest mk ii or mk iii cars on expo?
