Something seems wrong about that.
A better perspective is that Phase 1 of the Expo line had a shovel in the ground in March 1982 and the gates opened in December 1985.
In the time it's taken to do this we would of completed roughly 90% of the original SkyTrain network. That's over 20km of guideway, all the infrastructure and 15 goddamn stations from scratch.

So......slow........
