It's a great name to locally call transit under LIM technology which for quite a while was just called the "Greater Vancouver Rapid Transit System"...which doesn't sound as awesome.
That was true before the Canada Line was built, but that's also part of the SkyTrain system, and doesn't use LIM propulsion.
