Expo Line - Surrey Langley Extension: Planning & Pre-Construction

"Canada Line's Congested City Centre Station Needs a Second Entrance

Vancouver British Columbia - With over 140,000 weekday boardings as of 2017, just eight years after its opening, calling the Canada Line a success would be an understatement.

For comparison, the entire Portland Max light rail system recorded 116,800 weekday boardings in 2015.

While the Canada Line has been criticized for its single-track rail sections in Richmond and YVR, and its notably short platform lengths (40 metres, expandable to just 50), its current ridership is a clear testimonial to the aspects that were built correctly, in particular grade separation and automation."

Yes, there is more population along the Canada Line, but the choice of technology was bang on. LRT in Surrey is a huge mistake. The train won't get you to where you need to go quickly. If you are not in a hurry, come on board and enjoy the ride. Ignore the fact that your ride is screwing up everyone else's commute along 104th. Surrey will get its vanity project but everyone will pay for it.
