List of Vancouver SkyTrain stations
The Vancouver SkyTrain is a three-line urban mass transit system in the metropolitan area of Vancouver, Canada managed by TransLink. The Expo Line was built for the Expo 86 World's Fair;〔 the Millennium Line opened in 2002,〔 followed by the Canada Line in 2009.〔 The Expo Line and Millennium lines are operated by the British Columbia Rapid Transit Company on behalf of TransLink.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BCRTC )〕 The Canada Line is owned by InTransitBC, and operated by ProTrans BC, an SNC-Lavalin company.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Us )〕 The Expo and Millennium lines use Bombardier's Advanced Rapid Transit technology, while the Canada Line technology is provided by Hyundai Rotem.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canada Line )〕 The SkyTrain is the oldest fully automated driverless rapid transit system in the world.〔
The SkyTrain was conceived as a legacy project of Expo 86 and the first line was finished in 1985 in time to showcase the fair's theme: "Transportation and Communication: World in Motion – World in Touch". The SkyTrain connected Downtown Vancouver with Burnaby and New Westminster, and was originally terminated at New Westminster Station.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/expo/pre_e.cfm#expo86 )〕 In 1989, the SkyTrain expanded to the one station southeast to Columbia Station.〔 The Skybridge, the only cable-stayed bridge built for transit use in the world, and Scott Road Station were added in 1990, extending the service to Surrey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Quick Facts )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SkyTrain )〕 The line was expanded once more with the Gateway, Surrey Central, and King George stations in 1994. TransLink, which took over BC Transit's SkyTrain operation, proposed a two-phase expansion: The first phase was a C$1.2 billion Millennium Line from New Westminster to the Vancouver Community College via Lougheed Town Centre. The second phase was a C$730 million Coquitlam line from Lougheed Town Centre to Coquitlam Centre via Port Moody and a Western line from Vancouver Community College to Granville Street via the Broadway Corridor. The first phase, now known as the Millennium Line, began operating in 2002. The line, serving north of Vancouver, Burnaby, and New Westminster, originally added ten stations; Lake City Way opened later in 2003, and VCC–Clark opened in 2006, which completed the Millennium Line. In 2004, TransLink approved a line connecting Vancouver with Richmond and the Vancouver International Airport, which at the time was projected to cost $1.72 billion. The line, now known as the Canada Line, opened in August 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of SkyTrain )〕 The construction of the proposed Coquitlam line, the Evergreen Line, has begun and is scheduled to complete by 2016. The line is an extension of the Millennium line, will consist of 6 new stations and terminate at the David Lam Campus of Douglas College〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Evergreen Line )〕
There are 47 stations on the SkyTrain system. 20 stations are served by the Expo Line, 28 by the Millennium Line, and 16 by the Canada Line—Waterfront is served by all three lines, while 15 other stations are served by both the Expo and Millennium lines. Vancouver and Burnaby have a total of 31 stations, 20 and 11 respectively, and make up 66 percent of the stations. Waterfront is the northbound terminal for all three lines, King George is the southbound terminal for the Expo Line, VCC–Clark is the westbound terminal of the Millennium Line, and Richmond–Brighouse and YVR–Airport are the southbound terminals for the two Canada Line branches. In terms of average weekday station boardings in 2003, Commercial–Broadway is the most highly used station, while Sapperton is the least.
