      I agree with you 100%. It is the present and the future. Automation is generally better than human involvement, and jobs shift to a higher skill level, another bonus being that less people are needed. So sad that my city continues to build non-automated transit. ☹️

    Dubai Metro Red & Green Line should be with 90 km longer than the 3 lines of Vancouver Skytrain. First Line opened 2009 and as of 2016 it should still be the longest driverless Metro system in the world. It is operated in GoA 4 grade of automation, i.e. unattended (driverless) operation.I do not know whether there are meanwhile longer automatic Metros e.g. in Asia.
    2019 Sydney Metro opened with the first stage being 66 km long. But with future extensions and more lines it might overtake Dubai Metro.

  • @goebelmartin1921
    @goebelmartin1921 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    They use so many different types of trains and train configurations in this system. And I wonder that they have no platform screen doors.
    Does Vancouver use another system to ensure tracks are free if trains enter into stations?

    Ontario should have skytrains, I guess they are cheaper than building subways, but I prefer it to be like singapores MRT trains because they have wider bodies, more space inside, like the new Alstom trains
