Metro Vancouver's regional transportation authority, 376 TransLink, has inaugurated the SkyTrain Evergreen extension to the Millennium line, a significant expansion of the city’s integrated transportation network, connecting the Tri-cities to the existing SkyTrain system, regional bus network and West Coast Express.
The SkyTrain line was first inaugurated in December 1985, utilising596 Thales’ communication-based train control system, SelTrac. Today, SelTrac rail signalling equips 100 per cent of the SkyTrain network, including the Canada line.
With the completion of the 11 km long extension, which expands the SkyTrain network to 79.6 km, Metro Vancouver claims to have the longest, fully-automated, driverless rapid-transit system in the world, including a two kilometre tunnel.
