SkyTrain can run as close as 80 seconds apart....MAX will NEVER be able to do that.

Went to a Soccer game this last weekend up there, one train leaves, shortly after another one flies in, loads up, and leaves, then repeat....

"It is because of SkyTrain that TransLink profits are better than ever. Upon the introduction of the driverless Canada Line, system-wide operating cost recovery rose from 54 to 60 per cent."

Interesting play on words...60 cents of every dollar operating cost is recouped in fares, and there's a "profit" involved?

Where's the other 40 cents?
