Skytrain-Canada Line maximum frequency and capacity issues
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-line-maximum-frequency-skytrain
A limited construction budget doesn't have to prevent a rapid transit line from eventually becoming a high capacity corridor. That is as long as it's designed with significant future capacity in mind.
Transportation infrastructure such as the Canada+Line, could have easily been designed to be expandable over the decades. However, its as if someone with a strong antigrowth & anti big city infrastructure agenda was able to make sure that this line was poorly designed.
There really should have been a long term plan to not only connect the Vancouver_International_Airport's, YVR_station to the Horseshoe_Bay_ferry_terminal and the Tsawwassen_ferry_terminal. Again, it was as if someone never wanted such a line to ever become a high volume transportation corridor linking West_Vancouver and Delta to the airport.
Such absurd 50 m stations, especially the underground ones, should have been designed with at least an extra 50 m of level clearance at each end. Instead, the joke that is the Canada Line was only designed to have two 20 m coaches with just enough space for an additional half-length coach. Wow, so this 2 car train can eventually become a 2.5 car train, but not a 5.
This joke of a train should have immediately opened with 4-5 car trains. Then, 6-8 car trains when needed.
Its difficult to understand why so much infrastructure in BC has to always be so underbuilt.

Its difficult to understand why so much infrastructure in BC has to always be so underbuilt.
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-line-peak-hour-service-new-trains
There has been a multi-generational agenda to stunt or thwart the scale of infrastructure in BC. Long trains & wide bridges go against the congestive BC agenda. Allowing big & high capacity infrastructure in BC would be symbolic as well as indicative of properly planning for & efficiently managing growth. Why do that when you can just keep on implementing chokepoints & bottleneck planning overall?
