Vancouver Transit
Skytrain

BC Skytrain

Vancouver in BC has the automated SkyTrain system. It is a unique system that borders between heavy rail and light rail. It operates in a subway downtown. It cars use linear induction motors for propulsion. Train frequencies are high. The new Millennium line is now in operation. 

A new line, dubbed the Canada line, is currently under construction. It will link Richmond and the Airport to downtown and Waterfront station. It will not have a physical rail connection to the Expo or Millennium lines.
