Vancouver SkyTrain
The SkyTrain in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada is an advanced light rapid transit
system operating fully automated trains on two lines. Built for the Expo 86 World's
Fair, it has since become the world's longest automated light rapid transit system.
The system uses the same family of linear induction motor-driven trains as the Scarborough
RT line in Toronto, the Putra LRT in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the JFK AirTrain
in New York.
