with driveless cars just around the corner there is no need for Skytrain for separation, it will be done automatically, you are already out of date.

 How is a self-driving car more "modern and efficient" when we have a grade-separated, automated train that has been running well for the Metro Van region since 1986? |
Don't send him links to self driving cars crashing - his head might explode.
Plus that's missing a major point of transit - that you have a bunch of people in one vehicle vs a bunch of vehicles with 1 or 2 people. Congestion will still be a problem until we can minimize the number of SOVs on the road.
I wish we had more Skytrain lines but the reality is they're expensive, so in the meantime the emphasis seems to be on more B-Lines while we try to pay for what's already on our wish list. Have you filled out the latest survey about B-Lines I linked to in Transit Discussion?
