Unless there's MASSIVE densification in Vancouver, the city doesn't deserve that many lines. A streetcar line along 41st Avenue would be more ideal, and feasible, than an M-Line loop.

The SFU-Richmond Knight Line is completely unnecessary. The proposed Evergreen Line to the Tri-Cities is missing, and so is the WCE. More transit should be built out in the Fraser Valley/Surrey. Perhaps add an LRT or Expo extension down King George Highway to Newton.

It would also be better to have the Arbutus LRT/SkyTrain run under Burrard in downtown rather than merging with the Canada Line....not to mention that a merge is not possible given the depth and steep grades of the bored tunnel.

The Downtown Loop Line is not needed....something like the already City proposed Downtown Streetcar would be much more ideal.

A Hastings Line should either be LRT or a separate SkyTrain line, not an extension of the Expo Line. The Expo Line would simply be too long, and the quality of service could be compromised.

The North Shore extensions aren't too bad.


BTW, how do you even make these Google maps?
