Four days before opening to the public, Vancouver's new Canada Line rapid transit system was visited by CityCaucus.com. Here is a 10-minute ride of the entire route, featuring footage of each station on the line.

  • Its a great service! Why wasn't this put in place back in 1984/85 for Expo? Would have made a lot more sense to have it then!

  • No the Expo Line (aka Skytrain) was opened in 1986. This service just opened in August 2009.

  • Wow its beautiful. I called up my girlfriend today and she was so lucky being one of the first passengers to ride for "free". Some Canadians though parked their cars just to experience the thrill here.

    Seeing that train passing thru tunnel is like watching a sci fi movie... hahaha

  • Bravo! They did a great job!

see all

  • looks really good would this new train take you to richmound?

  • It looks like the line 4-Yeallow an Line 2-green of São Paulo Metrô System (Subway)

  • Even this is better than the Torotno subway, toronto cannot even afford to make a line compared to Vancouver

  • at 4:06 why does it sound diffrent when it says "this train is for richmond brighhouse"

  • Looks pretty good. The stations seem a little small, but I guess the capability to have high frequencies on the Canada Line should hopefully be enough to avoid overcrowding of the station platforms. Now if only they could find the money to create a SkyTrain subway line servicing the Broadway corridor out to UBC... Vancouver would finally have a great rail rapid transit "backbone" upon which streetcars and lightrail could be added in the future to enhance & strengthen that backbone.

  • Very good idea to allow very 2nd train going to the airport

    Very convenience

  • Looks great!

    Can't wait until we get the Elginton Crosstown in Toronto. I hope it's like the Canada Line!

  • Wow... this Canada Line just made my trip to Vancouver much easier!... See you guys in April!... greetings from Los Angeles.

  • @CityCaucus Yes I understand, but Vander Zalm should have put the Canada Line in @ the same time when the Expo Line was being installed. In the Netherlands there is a train station right @ Schiphol airport, has been there for many years, same thing all over Europe @ all the major international airports. It just makes sense.
