^ i'll actually agree with that, but i'm just setting the limits. I really don't want a 57th Avenue station, it's the only section that the train goes fast.

Not to mention that is it worth putting in more stations if the line can't even sustain existing (thus, future) ridership levels? I think YVR 3 is the only definite future station, being that it connects with the terminal expansion and the Canada Line doubles as the airport's people mover.

The City of Richmond seems to be really intent on making Capstan happen with the adjacent developers. Not too exactly sure with 33rd Avenue.

I'm sure we don't have to connect with EVERY major destination along the line, right? If it were LIM, travel times with additional stations wouldn't be too much of an increase.




There are long lineups for the ticket vending machines at most station's. I really think it says a lot about their ridership projections for the line, that they've grossly underestimated it. Hopefully, they'll order more TVM's soon....not just more trains.
