It's so sad that the Canada (Embarrassment) Line stations are only an absurd 50 m, when the Montreal_Metro stations are 152.5 m or 500 feet long. A 2 car Vancouver-Richmond train just can't match the capacity of a 9 car Montreal Metro train.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Line#Stations "The five busiest stations have platforms 50 metres (160 ft) long, while the rest of the stations have 40-metre (130 ft) platforms that can be easily extended to 50 metres."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Line#Canada_Line_Hyundai_Rotem_specifications "Train length: 41 m (134 ft 6 in)"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Metro#Station_design "Platforms, 152.4 metres (500 ft) long and at least 3.8 metres (12 ft) wide..."
The Canada_Line is a total backwards BC embassesment. The argument for such short stations and trains was to save money. However, all the stations could have still been designed to be level long enough to eventually be extended to 160 m. That would be able to accomodate an 8 car train of 525 feet.
Unfortunatly, in accordance with backwards Vancouver transportation planning, the Canada (Embarrassment) Line stations are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_station_(Edmonton)
The multigenerational backwards BC thinking always gets in the way. An initial 2 billion dollar train line should have ultimately been designed to have 10 car trains. This line should have eventually linked YVR to both ferry terminals, but that would actually be efficient long-range transportation planning.
