SkyTrain is a light rapid transit
metro system in Greater Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada. SkyTrain has 68.7 km (42.7 mi) of track
and uses fully automated trains on grade-separated tracks, running mostly
on elevated guideways, which gives passengers views across the city and helps
SkyTrain to hold consistently high (over 95%) on-time reliability. It also uses
the world's longest cable-supported transit-only bridge, the Skybridge, to cross the Fraser River.
The system has a total of 47 stations on three lines. The Expo Line and Millennium Line are operated by British Columbia Rapid Transit Company under contract from TransLink (originally BC Transit), a regional government transportation agency. The Canada Line is operated on the same principles by the private concessionaire ProTrans BC under contract to TransLink, and is an integrated part of the regional transport system.
