Vancouver's original SkyTrain line -- Expo Line -- took another step toward making a proposed extension happen when the Mayor's Council supported a business case to extend the light rapid transit system from Surrey to Langley as part of a 10-mile extension.
The SkyTrain light rail cars keep showing up throughout British Columbia as TransLink adds 24 new cars in September to help handle increased service on the Expo and Millennium lines in the metro Vancouver region, while another 24 cars will grow Canada Line's service in 2020.
The $500,000 put up by the government of British Columbia to study a fixed-link rapid transit connection across Burrard Inlet, connecting Vancouver, B.C., to the North Shore, revives an idea that has floated the inlet for years.
The accelerated delivery of an additional 28 SkyTrain cars for the Expo and Millennium lines of Vancouver, B.C.’s SkyTrain light rail system will push capacity in the continually expanding service.
Vancouver, B.C.’s TransLink SkyTrain light rail system added 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) of track this month while announcing planning will start soon on yet another addition to the system.
