shocking to see so much open space, large parking lots and big box store near the train stations. ideal spots for housing and retail. Vancouver needs to develop those areas no wonder the cost of living there is so unaffordable
It's getting better, most of the large shopping malls are being redeveloped into multitower developments. There have been probably a dozen towers that have started construction around Burquitlam station in the last 5 years.
Good god this system is so good. It is a big collective win for citizens of the Vancouver region to have voted this train into existence, and to be voting for its expansion. It's sheer competence outweighs drawbacks of being a gadgetbahn.. oh man I hope Alstom doesn't cut support
I was surprised to see a sign on Fraser Hwy in Langley announcing the Surrey-Langley extension, with a budget of some 4 billion dollars. It's been a proposed line for years now, as they left King George terminus open for expansion along Fraser Hwy back when they built it.
I've walked every inch of the skytrain line, it takes just over 8 hours from waterfront to king George, 10 hours from Lafarge lk to waterfront, 6 hours Canada line
Boy that's a major metropolis that's grown a LOT in the past few decades!! I think this train and system to be comparable to what Europe or Asia has to offer (in the same metropolitan passenger hauling class of electric trains). "Fully Automated Trains" means these trains do not have a driver, is that right??
Pretty cool video!. I wonder how does the driver know if another train is ahead of him or the track switch is thrown ahead without any signal indications?
Thanks! The SkyTrain system is automated and doesn’t operate normally with drivers, but the trains do operate manually from time to time, where a signal would come in handy.
Same train used in KELANA JAYA (PUTRA) line: ART 200 Mark II and Metro300 Mark III AMPANG LINE using CSR Zhuzhou AMY with Chinese techs. Personally I prefer CSR Zhuzhou AMY then this Bombardier Mark trains
The above replies are not correct. The power comes from the sides of the train (look to the sides of the track for covered areas). The middle section is an induction plate for the linear induction motor, which is not a traditional electric motor used in most metro systems. It does not carry any live electricity like the sides do.
I'm so sorry for Canada. Most things about a good Canada are not true, Including clean cities - beaches, and forests. It's a big lie. The first time I arrived in Vancouver in 2018, I was shocked. As soon as I left the airport door, I saw tissue, disposable glasses, and other garbage left in the city. The further I went, the more I saw them. Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, The United States, and for a short time in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Netherland, Germany, and England, but I have never seen the amount of garbage that people leave in different Canadian cities. Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec are no less than Vancouver. Canadian and Canada Governments don't care about this tragedy. I think everything that says about Canada as a clean and powerful culture is not true. You don't need to travel to Canada to see this. Just watch some videos about walking in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec. You will find the truth. Impossible for you to walk in a Canadian city and you don't see the dark side of that. Everywhere you will see garbage. You will never see this in Europe, Australia, the United States, Japan, and Korea. This amount of waste is not even seen in Malaysian, Indonesian, or Thailand cities. It is impossible for you to use public transport and not see a lot of garbage at stations or on the route. You will be surprised to find a lot of garbage even in the woods - by the rivers and on the beaches in Canada. I wish the Canadians woke up and had no enmity with their country.
Bud Vancouver is a beautiful city great people and great communties. All the suff you've said in your comment is all lies. We have one of the cleanest water in the world. People do is just make this stuff up, I walk in Vancouver everyday it's clean maybe yo ahh so poor you walked into the broke part of the city. Dude don't ever think about mentioning untruthfull stuff about my hometown.
If you even look at the video, you'll have a hard time seeing garbage. Stations, roads, sidewalks... all look clean. But hey, you're free to think whatever you want. Enjoy.
Crazy that this train went through 3 whole cities before getting to Vancouver. Goes to show how dense the area is.
This all have this way, King George! Station! And! Waterfront? Station?

what happened to station announcements?

"Fully Automated Trains" means these trains do not have a driver, is that right??
Yes, the trains are automated most of the time. They are manually operated during harsh winter conditions or if they break down.
Correct, ai

Wow, Hello my friend.. All the best to your channel and hope you have a wonderful day !!
Pretty cool video!. I wonder how does the driver know if another train is ahead of him or the track switch is thrown ahead without any signal indications?

I think the blue lights seen along the line, starting at 0:00 at King George could be signals.
@@carvolthproductions555 Ah ok! that makes more sense now!

Hello, what camera did u use? and also what is a good budget camera thats good for skytrain filming under 250 dollars? btw nice vid
Why it has no pantograph and wire with pole
The train gets power from the strip down the middle of the track, as opposed to over head catenary
The SkyTrain doesn't use overhead wiring, instead it uses a 3rd rail. That's the large strip down the middle of the track.
The above replies are not correct. The power comes from the sides of the train (look to the sides of the track for covered areas). The middle section is an induction plate for the linear induction motor, which is not a traditional electric motor used in most metro systems. It does not carry any live electricity like the sides do.
Yeah the middle rail is for the linear induction motor! Electric power is from weirdly hidden 4th (?) rail at the side
@@zivan56 it's funny yeah that center rail is just for traction
Why electricity line is so flat???
it's a pad. The train picks it up with a shoe of sorts and it's also flat.
Vancouver is not an aesthetic and green city ....concrete , highways and cars ...and beld urbanism
