Ideally, every intended station on a rail rapid transit line should be built at the same time. However, by allowing some spots for future stations, is also a good idea. Such future stations could already be roughed-out, so when getting completed there is much less disruption.
Whether it's the first 2 Skytrain lines with only 80m stations, or the absurd Canada Line with only a provision for 50m stations, there needs to be better long-range planning to allow for future capacity needs.
By now, there should have been a train connecting the Tsawwassen_ferry_terminal and the Horseshoe_Bay_ferry_terminal to YVR, but that would go against the congestive planning mentality.
All the Skytrain stations should have been designed to eventually be 160m or about 525 feet long. Just because the road system is only half-size, the trains & stations should be full size. However, short trains and narrow bridges are all part of the congestive planning agenda.
