The UBC Subway Saga.

Some people are just as easily opposed to something like the-bloor-danforth-subway as they are with an expressway. That's especially the case in backwards Vancouver.

Fortunately, many other cities have been able to get a train to their main university campus much faster than slow-moving Vancouver is attempting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_2_Bloor-Danforth#Frequency The TTC Subway should have been able to run 10 car trains by now. Even an 8 car train is a little better than a 6 car train. However, a 6 car train is only 138m or 450 feet long. A 9 car Montreal Metro train is about 152.5m or 500 feet long. Of course the first 2 Skytrain lines only have 80m stations & the Canada emberassent Line only has 50m stations.
