Just because it's an LRT train, there still should have been a proper provision to have at least 152.5m or 500 foot long trains, like the Montreal Metro. However, a 500 ft. long train goes against the backwards, KEEP IT SMALL symbolism & mentality that permeates throughout Vancouver & backwater BC. Allowing for a proper big-city train isn't just symbolically BIG, but necessary for any city that tries to reduce congestion. Unfortunatly, Vancouver & BC keeps opting for the reduced capacity option, because it fits in with the congestive planning agenda.
