The new bridge after the Pattullo Bridge
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/pattullo-bridge-new-replacement-construction-update-2024
This small city mentality is ridiculous.
Unfortunatly, the narrow Pattullo+Bridge+replacement is indicative of the BC reluctance to properly build for the future. That's the nature of the BC Mind Virus (BCMV).

Growing traffic congestion increases bus delays in Metro Vancouver region
The multigenerational backwards transportation planning mentality remains absurd and inefficient. Bus lanes are difficult to establish on the mostly narrow streets. However, one of the biggest transportation blunders was to not allow for bus lanes on the regions mostly narrow bridges.
Unless there is a proper regional network of bus and bike bridges, an express bus and rapid bus service will always be Half-A$$ED.
Of course Vancouver would have shorter train stations than what the Montreal Metro, TTC Subway and Edmonton LRT have. Short stations = short and more crowded Skytrains.
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/pattullo-bridge-new-replacement-construction-december-2022 No wide emergency lanes and no wide shoulders. Someone really wants this bridge to open without enough space for 2 bus lanes. Just like the SkyBridge was built without any bike and bus lanes, despite the Skytrain not running 24 hours. Its as if there was no concept of redundancy to have a rapid bus crossing on the narrow SkyBridge.
Fortunately, the Tilikum_Crossing in Portland was possible, because even Oregon isn't quite as backwards as the BC part of Canada. There are several types of bus and bike bridges that just don't get built in backwards BC.

Canada Line is so under-built
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-line-skytrain
50 m short SkyTrain-Canada+Line stations are so symbolic of the reluctance to have Montreal Metro & Toronto Subway length stations that are 152.5 m or 500 feet long.
To allow Montreal & Toronto size stations in Greater Vancouver would be indicative of accepting & planning for big city type growth. Indeed, all the SkyTrain stations were deliberately built to be shorter than any underground stations in Edmonton, Seattle & Portland. Even the new underground stations in Calgary will be longer, that's because Calgary, like so many other proper cities, aren't under the control of a backwards Vancouver and backwater BC type agenda.

However, Vancouver & BC are all about congestive planning. Thus, building small & narrow provides great symbolism against building big. Of course who knows where all the decades of money went, because it didn't all go into the half-size infrastructure? It's quite a strange approach, have short trains & narrow bridges, but pay full price & hope that no one notices. This is terrible for people who would like to have proper size big city infrastructure.
Greater Vancouver should have had all of its Skytrain stations built to be at least 500 feet or 152.45 m. There should have been bus & HOV bridges built next to all of the narrow bridges, several decades ago. However, that would conflict with the madness of Vancouverization.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Line#Canada_Line_Hyundai_Rotem_specifications
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Line#Stations Wow, design & build a multibillion dollar train line that can only be expanded from an absurd 2 car train upto a 2.5 car train. No need to have a provision for a 6, 8 or 10 car trains. That's what a big city would do, but Vancouver & Richmond are all about taking a congestive planning approach. That's the backwater BC way.
https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/translink-adds-more-trains-to-its-canada-line-fleet
Just because the YVR-Canada+Line uses a different technology, all of the stations should have been designed to even have longer stations than the 80m stations on the first 2 SkyTrain lines.
