How it started -> how it's going

Number of passages on weekdays on Montréal's STM lines 55 and 80+535/435/480 in 2010, 2013 (network 10 minutes max) and 2025.

It's brutal.

Now I know why I've stopped riding bus 80 and why I take the 55 much less...

another good indoor point of view is from the mem (accessible in the free area), it gives a different perspective of ste-catherine.

it seems like some stations, including capstan, can accommodate an extra 10m car.

Larger stations or more trains? Canada Line faces tough choice as demand increases - BC | Globalnews.ca The stations along the line, which connects downtown Vancouver to Richmond and the airport, were only built to handle two-car trains.

from 2017…

“The CEO of TransLink says the stations on the Skytrain Canada Line between Vancouver and Richmond are too small, and won’t be able to accommodate larger trains as ridership grows.”
