Skytrain
Vancouver's single light-rail line - SkyTrain - is a model of its type: driverless, completely computerized and magnetically propelled, half underground and half on raised track. It covers 22km (an extension is under construction) between the downtown Waterfront Station (housed in the CPR building with the SeaBus terminal) and the southeastern suburb of New Westminster. Only the first three or four stations - Waterfront, Burrard, Granville and Stadium - are of any practical use to the casual visitor, but the 39-minute trip along the twenty-station line is worth taking if only to see how the Canadians do these things - spotless interiors and Teutonic punctuality.
