Vancouver’s Canada Line Exceeding Ridership Expectations
The Canada Line has reached ridership goals three years ahead of schedule; the line has seen several days of 100,000+ riders. I’m not surprised by this news — downtown-to-airport rail service has been popular all over the US already. Minnesota’s Hiawatha line (Downtown - Mall of America - Airport) also beat ridership estimates, and Portland’s MAX line to the airport has seen strong ridership numbers. This Canada Line news should encourage transit planners in other cities contemplating airport rail lines.
