For example, a 41st line can have an extension down Canada Way, or a Hastings line to SFU. Build the entire thing as one big loop, and those extensions would have to be spurs or a new (and redundant) line.
I was planning to continue the semi-loop to North and West Van later on, but

I mean, I should put in "Future Skytrain" lines if I ever want to build to 2070 or something- and since lines can always be split later on, I will split it into 2, and just note that if it's extended, I would make them seperate lines.

No need to make transfers if there isn't extra line length that it would benefit from

Are the highway tunnels through New West's outskirts and Richmond too ambitious? Would they even be necessary?
