Canada Line races toward capacity

It could definitely have used another half billion, but as mentioned, we were already lucky enough getting the first two billion to begin with.

A) Since the viaduct itself is fairly pricey, single-tracking it and shortening Brighouse doesn’t actually save a lot of money.
B) YVR paid for all three of their stations, and got to add a surcharge to them; you’ll note that fares to and from Sea Island are a few bucks extra.
C) The bank at QE is because SNC cheaped out with a highly divisive cut n’cover that followed the road; boring straight through bedrock would likely have increased the cost, and as mentioned, elevated was off the table; the only way to make it cheaper would’ve been to follow Bombardier’s bid and dig a trench all the way from 16th to Marine.
