Vancouver has been under a multigenerational stunting & thwarting agenda that just never caught on with Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg & Halifax. They all have much larger municipal boundaries than Vancouver. No building in Vancouver is permitted to rival the tallest in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary & Edmonton. No underground train station in Vancouver has been built to be as long as any underground train station in Toronto, Montreal & Edmonton or any future underground stations in Calgary. Vancouver has so many narrow streets & bridges, making it difficult to have a proper bus-lane network. Indeed, several cities around the world established bus-lanes before Vancouver got around to it.
