Thankfully the evergreen line won't be cursed with those short platforms  |
The short platforms on the Canada Line are precisely the length needed for the trains stopping at the stations.
When the 3rd "C" car is added to the Canada Line trains to add capacity, the platforms will also be lengthened to match the longer trains.
If the longer platforms were built as part of the original construction, we'd be hearing for decades about the 'damm fools who wasted money on stations with platforms that are too long for the trains" - until the longer trains are added to the system.
