So idiotic not building Canada Line platforms to 80m. I honestly would have built them to 100m; no earthly idea who is running or designing Vancouver's system but they sure are low balling it.
Expo Line should be at least 120m. CB area to Commercial could also be 120m using the Express/short turn long train idea during rush hours and crush loads; having the remaining M-Line stations being 80m using 'short' 4-car trains.
No reason why Vancouver's daily metro ridership shouldn't already be 500,000 and eclipse 750,000 at the 'start' of the Broadway opening, and 1M per day for the system with the MLine extension to UBC and Expo down Fraser Hwy. Today, we're half-baking it.
