SkyTrain (Vancouver)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The SkyTrain in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada is an urban Advanced Rapid Transit system
operating two lines, the Expo Line and the Millennium Line. The system runs principally on elevated tracks
(hence the name). It uses fully automated trains with no human drivers on board, and has had no derailments
or collisions in its history.[2] With 33 stations, it moves over 220,000 people a day along the 49.5 km
(30.8 mi) of track. Built in time for the Expo 86 World's Fair, it is the world's longest automated light rapid
transit system and it uses the world's longest mass transit-only bridge, the SkyBridge. The system uses the
same family of linear induction motor-driven trains as the Scarborough RT line in Toronto, the Putra LRT in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the Detroit People Mover in Detroit, and the JFK AirTrain in New York City.
Construction of the Canada Line began in November 2005. The Evergreen Line, as of 2007, is in its planning
stages. The former will be complete in 2009, and the latter in 2011. The Canada Line will run from
downtown Vancouver to Richmond, with a branch to the airport. The Evergreen Line, a light-rapid-transit
line, will run from Lougheed Town Centre to Coquitlam Town Centre.
SkyTrain operates on a proof-of-payment fare system and is policed by the Greater Vancouver
Transportation Authority Police Service. Passengers are subject to random fare inspections. TransLink
believes it loses about CAD$6 million in unpaid fares annually. In addition to the police force, stations are
patrolled by SkyTrain attendants, who can perform first aid and provide customer assistance.
