Public transit in Vancouver, Canada

The cities refusal to build bus bridges next to all the narrow bridges just continues through the years.

The SkyTrain was deliberately designed to have much shorter stations than the Montreal Metro, apparently just to save money. Yet, Greater Vancouver would benefit strongly by having 152.5 m or 500 foot long trains. Even if the budget wasn't there to build long stations for long trains, the stations still could have been designed to be 152.5 m. 

It's like Greater Vancouver wants to perpetually be one of the worlds best examples of congestive planning or bottleneck planning.
