The Canada Line project built a 22-km rapid transit line connecting Vancouver to its airport, completed in 2009. It was completed by Public-Private Partnership ahead of schedule, and ridership exceeds the business case assumptions. I have taken it… great way to get from downtown to the airport in 24 minutes! Next time: Pay attention to public and business disruption along any rapid transit route. Don’t discriminate against migrant workers.
This is part of a series of blogs about recently completed projects, thanks to my University of Toronto Master of Engineering students for their much more detailed reports.
