The Vancouver SkyTrain is an urban rapid transit network consisting of three lines serving the Greater Vancouver area in British Columbia, Canada. It is operated under the authority of TransLink. The Expo Line was originally constructed for Expo 86; the Millennium Line commenced service in 2002, and the Canada Line was inaugurated in 2009 to accommodate the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Operation of the Expo and Millennium Lines is handled by the British Columbia Rapid Transit Company on TransLink’s behalf. Meanwhile, the Canada Line is owned by InTransitBC and managed by ProTrans BC, a subsidiary of AtkinsRéalis. The Expo and Millennium Lines utilize Bombardier’s Advanced Rapid Transit system, whereas the Canada Line employs technology developed by Hyundai Rotem. Notably, SkyTrain holds the distinction of being the world’s longest and oldest fully automated, driverless rapid transit system.
Initially envisioned as a lasting legacy of Expo 86, the Expo Line was completed in 1985 to embody the fair’s theme of Transportation and Communication. It linked Vancouver with Burnaby and New Westminster, terminating at Waterfront and New Westminster stations. Subsequent expansions included a one-station extension eastward to Columbia in 1989; the addition of the Skybridge crossing into Surrey with Scott Road station in 1990; followed by further eastbound growth reaching Gateway, Surrey Central, and King George stations by 1994.
Following TransLink’s takeover of SkyTrain operations in 1998, a two-stage expansion plan was proposed. The first phase involved constructing a CAD 1.2-billion line from New Westminster to Vancouver Community College via Lougheed Town Centre—known as the Millennium Line—which began service in 2002 with eleven new stations. Additional stations were later added: Lake City Way in 2003 and VCC–Clark in 2006. The second phase, initially shelved but later revived as the Evergreen Extension, launched in 2016. This extension stretched service from Lougheed Town Centre to Lafarge Lake–Douglas in Coquitlam through Burnaby and Port Moody, adding six stations over roughly 11 kilometers.
In 2004, TransLink approved construction of a 19-kilometer route linking Vancouver with Richmond and Vancouver International Airport—the Canada Line—which opened in time for the 2010 Olympics. This line features fifteen stations and bifurcates at Bridgeport station into two branches: one extending to Richmond and another to YVR airport.
The entire SkyTrain network includes 54 stations: twenty dedicated to the Expo Line, fourteen on the Millennium Line, fifteen on the Canada Line, one station shared between Expo and Canada Lines, and three stations served by both Expo and Millennium Lines. Together, Vancouver and Burnaby contain thirty-one stations—accounting for 58% of all stops. In 2009, Commercial–Broadway station was created by merging two previous stations to simplify navigation. Since 2016, Braid and Sapperton stations have been served by the Expo Line rather than the Millennium Line via a branch running north from Columbia toward Production Way–University station—a major bus interchange serving Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus. The Millennium Line operates eastward from VCC–Clark to Lafarge Lake–Douglas, intersecting with the Expo Line at Production Way–University and Lougheed Town Centre stations. Waterfront station functions as the terminus for both Expo and Canada Lines; meanwhile, Richmond–Brighouse and YVR–Airport serve as outbound termini for the respective Canada Line branches.
