SkyTrain or light rail: Has Vancouver got it wrong?
The suburbs of Greater Vancouver need help. Areas like Surrey and Langley are some of the fastest growing in all of Canada but the travel infrastructure isn't up to scratch. That's why the CAD $6BN Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension is being constructed. It'll offer a rapid transit option for residents and ease reliance on cars for getting around.
But is the SkyTrain a big mistake? Originally, this piece of infrastructure was set to be a light rail system (LRT), like a tram but years into planning the new route and it was scrapped for the SkyTrain. As construction continues on this new train line, the question remains: did they make the right decision?
