There should have been at least 5 car trains stopping at all the stations by now. Unfortunately, because of backwards Vancouver and backwater BC planning standards, the Canada Line stations are only level and long enough to accommodate a 2.5 car joke of a train.

Oakridge Park and Mall

Somehow the people around Broadway Station weren't able to stop this. Well, the Oakridge Station area is becoming its own town centre in that part of provincial Vancouver. Yet, the Broadway & Commercial area is already a big transportation intersection.
Despite the C-Line still only running 2 car joke trains, there is a potential to have 3 car trains. That's still pretty sad when the 50 m stations should have been built to eventually accommodate 5-6 car trains. Unfortunately, the planners never seriously considered to have a future level station clearance of 100-120 m. In contrast, the Montreal Metro has 152.5 m stations and can accommodate 9 car trains. The Vancouver Mind Virus (VMV) has always prevented the city from thinking on a big scale.

Oakridge Park mall in Vancouver
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-oakridge-park-mall-opening While shopping online can be a great convenience, going to a mall can still be a nice tactile experience. Had the horrible Covid shutdown gone on for another year, people would have been more conditioned to order things online and perhaps even have to ask AI for permission to go out anywhere.
Despite feeble attempts to the moon and Mars, most of humanity is confined to the Earth. That doesn't mean that the planet should ever become an AI run prison. However, things like a World Carbon Credit Score, a Personal Compliance Score and having to seek permission from AI to go anywhere, would be the epitome of a Sci-Fi dystopian story being imposed upon the MA$$E$.
Thus, the shopping mall and public transit should always remain as safe, open places. Eventually, mall security and transit police might be augmented with robots and AI drones.
Fortunately, the new and improved Oakridge wont be like anything out of a dystopian Sci-Fi story.
Its so creepy how the Canada Embarrassment Line was designed to only have 2 car trains, with no easy expansion ability to have 4-8 car trains. Indeed, to design a 2 billion dollar line without the capability to at least have 5 car trains is a very sad joke. The stations are only designed to eventually accommodate a 2.5 car train as if to symbolize the reluctance to ever connect YVR to both ferry terminals.

Oakridge Park Mall and train station
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/oakridge-park-mall-free-parking-vancouver
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakridge-41st_Avenue_station Each underground station could have been built with a future level clearance of 100 m and ultimately, 160 m. Unfortunately, in classic backwards Vancouver planning, the stations only have a level clearance of 50 m. Its as if there wasn't anyone interested in making sure that such transportation infrastructure could eventually have proper big-city size stations.
Therefore, all the stations should have been doubled in length by now to be 100m. Then in another decade the stations should have become 160m & in another decade, 200m. Unfortunately, the Canada Line was only designed to ultimately accommodate a 2.5 car train, not 8-10 car trains.
As of 2025, the 2009 Canada Line operators are still only running a 2 car joke of a train.
