Such short platforms and trains for the SkyTrain-Canada Line
http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/short-platforms-and-trains-is-the-skytrain-canada-line-under-built-and-nearing-capacity
Unfortunately the multibillion dollar Canada+Line was designed to have very short stations. Much shorter than any underground stations in Edmonton & Seattle, especially Montreal & Toronto. Planning & building proper big city size infrastructure in BC has mostly been difficult through the years. There has been a multigenerational mindset & agenda to hold BC back.

http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-line-skytrain-richmond-tsawwassen
How could such a backwater BC agenda be so powerful since the 1800s? Well, if you can't build a wall around BC or generate a Star Trek like force field around Greater Vancouver, you can at least continually demonstrate a reluctance to build proper size infrastructure.
http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/surrey-light-rail-skytrain-mistakes-underbuilt
http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/surrey-light-rail-skytrain-mistakes-underbuilt
BC has had such a slow growth agenda for several decades. Thus, by symbolically building inadequate infrastructure, it is hope that frustrated people will go elsewhere, or don't even show up. WTH? Fortunately, this agenda hasn't taken over Edmonton & Calgary or Seattle WA & Perth WA.

The Portland intersection
Portland_OR has a lot of bridges & is such a far cry from the Vancouver, BC bottleneck planning approach.
"The Bridges of Portland There are 11 bridges crossing the Willamette River in the Portland area with a total of 54 lanes. These bridges are: • St. Johns Bridge (4 lanes) • Fremont Bridge (8 lanes) • Broadway Bridge (4 lanes) • Steel Bridge (3 lanes with a fourth used by light rail) • Burnside Bridge (5 lanes) • Morrison Bridge (6 lanes) • Hawthorne Bridge (4 lanes) • Marquam Bridge (8 lanes) • Ross Island Bridge (4 lanes) • Sellwood Bridge (2 lanes) • George Abernethy Bridge (6 lanes) There are two other bridges that also serve the Portland area. These bridges span the Columbia River and connect Oregon State to Washington State; more specifically, they connect the Vancouver, Washington area with the Portland area. These two bridges are: • Glenn L. Jackson Memorial Bridge (8 lanes) • Interstate Bridge (6 lanes). An important item to note here is the fact that the Interstate Bridge is now considered obsolete. The Oregon Department of Transportation and the Washington State Department of Transportation are currently working to replace the Interstate Bridge with a new bridge that will have five or six lanes in each direction – doubling its current capacity. An obvious comparison can be made with the project to twin the Port Mann Bridge. The Oregon-Washington bridge replacement project is called the Columbia River Crossing Project and more information can be found on the project’s website at www.columbiarivercrossing.org. The new Columbia River Crossing is being planned to address the congestion, mobility and safety problems on the Interstate Bridge and along the I-5 corridor between Vancouver, Washington and downtown Portland. It will include a lane for bus or light rail rapid transit."

Yes indeed at 1070 feet, the Salesforce_Tower will be quite an impressive sight for the city.
"The building rises 1,070 feet high and is the tallest U.S. office building west of Chicago. Salesforce, a cloud-computing company that specializes in customer relationship management, is the "anchor tenant" and will occupy floors three to 30 and the top two levels, 60 and 61. Rather than designating the two top floors for executive offices, Salesforce will keep them open to all employees and their guests, Pinkham said." http://www.cnbc.com/201 7/04/06/salesforce-tower-san- franciscos-tallest-building- views.html

Some Urban Trains
Fortunately, Toronto & Montreal had enough vision to plan & build 152.45m or 500 foot long subway & metro stations. Even Edmonton & Seattle have much longer underground train stations than the Vancouver-Richmond train or Canada+Line. The Vancouver C-Line is a fine example of congestive & inept planning and should be studied all around the world as a warning. It could be called the, FINANCIAL DRAINAGE LINE, or the, CATHETER LINE. That's because the ridiculous 50m stations aren't even quite a 3rd of the length of the 152.5m Montreal Metro trains & stations. Thus, it will be difficult to lengthen the very short stations.
It's one thing if the C-Line was started off with absurdly, short 2.5 car trains, but at least the stations were already built to gradually accomodate 5 car trains. That would have been a reasonable attempt of planning for future capacity, but that's something BC just isn't that good at. The stations should have been designed to be ultimately accomodate 10 car trains, not some quarter-length joke. Eventually, three 20m coaches could be linked together. Then an extra 20m coach at both ends of each 3 car, 60m train. While a five car, 100m train would seem too long for a 50m, inept BC station, a walkthrough train makes it a possibility. That and Selective_door_operation makes a 5 car train quite possible.
It is very sad that the backward BC mentality never properly envisioned a 10 car train to provide a high capacity link between the Tsawwassen_ferry_terminal, Bridgeport_station & the YVR-Airport_station, Downtown_Vancouver, Park_Royal_Exchange and the Horseshoe_Bay_ferry_terminal. Only a properly functioning metropolitan region can do something like that. Greater Vancouver just isn't at that level yet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
"The operation of the Central Circle is similar to the S-Train systems in Germany and other countries."
https://upload.wikimedia.org/w ikipedia/commons/1/14/Moscow_m etro_ring_railway_map_en_sb_fu ture.svg ,
Russians aren't afraid to use good German technology.
I wish that they would allow some of that German tech in BC but BC still strives to maintain and keep things at a smaller scale.
The Moscow Circle Line is a much more recent development than the one in London.
"Since the beginning, platforms have been at least 155 metres (509 ft) long to accommodate eight-car trains. The only exceptions are on the Filyovskaya Line: Vystavochnaya, Mezhdunar odnaya, Studencheskaya, Kutuzo vskaya, Fili, Bagrationovskaya , Filyovsky Park and Pionerskaya, which only allows six-car trains..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Metro#Rolling_stock
There is suppose to be secret deeper level subway around Moscow.
Of course when severe flooding occurs, the subways are among the first things to be affected.
How in the hell is the 3rd line constructed to have the smallest stations, in-spite of increasing future demand?
No city has spent billions of dollars just to have 2 car trains, except Vancouver & Richmond.
Apparently, the 50 m platforms are only long enough to accommodate 2.5 car trains as capacity demand increases. http://www.railfort hevalley.com/wp-content/upload s/2017/04/Canada-Rail-213-e140 82980653651.jpg
Sure in the early years, Montreal could run a Mickey Mouse 3 car train, but their Metro stations were designed to accommodate a 9 car train during the very busy times & 6 car trains for intermediate demand.
So the BC inept planning process never allowed for a future demand of at least 152.5 m or 500 foot long stations & platforms. Instead, they designed the max potential to be only 50m or 164 feet. That's pathetic & only adds to the deliberate bottleneck planning approach that BC aspires to.
30-100 year plans http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ british-columbia/ubc-tunnel-su bway-transit-bc-mauro-chiesa-1 .4050842
As long as a line above ground & especially underground, has level sections of 500, 600 or 700 feet, then full length stations can be constructed.
When BC planers only allowed for a 50m or 164 foot level section for each Catheter Line,
If a system starts out with little trains but has designed the ability to triple or quadruple the length of the station platforms, then its just a matter of building that future extension right from the start or at some point later on.
Chicago & BART can still run ridiculous 4 car trains but the capacity to run 10 car trains was built in right from the start.
SYDNEY and its metro
Not only does Sydney have much longer trains & platforms, they are double level trains! Its like BC has made sure that it must never match the capacity that NSW & New_England has allowed for.

V-BC strives to perpetually be one of the most stunted or underbuilt major cities on the planet.
