Station inside the NE side of Central Park…read more The station is pretty short. It can only be accessed from the W side of Patterson. The theme is still from the original "futuristic" Expo 86. Honestly the station would've been more useful closer to Boundary. But oh well. Somewhat does the job.

It is in Fare Zone 2 and has side platforms, so doors open on the right. The station was completed in 1985 and received an extensive remodel/rebuild in 2012 when it opened as part of the Shops at New West center. Shops at New West has restaurants, supermarket, a cinema and lots of retail spending opportunities. There is a bus stop here with connections on a dozen or so lines. Escalators and elevators are here as the station is fully handicapped accessible. It is above ground and somewhat protected from the elements. But this is Canada, so if it's cold outside then it's cold on the platform. [Review 20887 overall - 63 in British Columbia - 1871 of 2023.]

Nice strip mall set up directly surrounding a SkyTrain station. Really rare to see in this city,…read morebut they did a good job. Parking is available in the lot below the building. The place consists mostly of small businesses, with easy SkyTrain platform access. There's a bit of everything in there, such as banks and fast food. There's even a supermarket (Safeway) attached. My favourite part is the caged (suicide-proof) bridge that crosses over the tracks. Great for watching the trains go by while reflecting on life.

One of the original (Expo line) stations, on Royal Oak near Rumble…read more There is a passenger pickup area to the SE of the station, which is nice. This station is pretty old and dumpy. Pretty much unchanged since the 1980s. Futuristic look back then. Now it looks like a worn down space station. To be honest, the station itself isn't very good for several reasons. First, it doesn't actually span the road - the entrances are only on the E side. Secondly, the original station was obviously built without accessibility in mind. The staircases are narrow and steep. There are also no escalators. Looks like they added a ramp as part of a later series of renovations. Lastly, the platform area is pretty cramped. Yes it does the job, but it's definitely not one of the nicer stations in the network.

One of the transfer points between the Millennium Line (which is now routed to go to Port Moody)…read moreand the Expo Line. The station is actually a bit tricky to navigate. What sets this station apart is that there are 3 platforms instead of 2. Trains moving in the same direction can be on different platforms depending on the line. In other words, one cannot simply get off the train and wait for the next one when switching lines. Read the signs carefully. There is a large bus hub at this location. Useful for getting into Coquitlam.

I am not a big fan of the Gilmore station. Well it doesn't come very frequent unlike the Expo line…read more This one has a temporary parking lot that you can drop and pick up people But after Omni starts developing on site than it will be a different story. I guess this station was built to accomodate the people living just across from the skytrain and yes home depot.

They've renovated the station in recent years to include more escalators, which drastically improves the pedestrian flow. However, the really not-so-good part is that they didn't reconnect the sky bridge that used to link the station with Metropolis. Heard it was some dispute between the City and the owners of Metropolis. Now everyone is forced to cross Central at street level, which makes life a lot more difficult. Knock 1 star off.

Located on the Expo line, Metrotown opened in 1985 and has been faithfully serving the Vancouver…read morepopulation ever since. There was a pretty good rebuild between 2015 and 2018 that improved capacity and the flow of passengers due to the shopping centers and multi-story living buildings that were added to the neighborhood. According to metrics, it is the second most busy terminal on the entire SkyTrain network. The station is handicapped accessible with lift and escalators. There is also a pedestrian bridge across the road that leads to the bus terminal and shopping. It is between Patterson (towards Waterfront) and Royal Oak (towards King George or Production Way-University). [Review 20899 overall - 75 in British Columbia - 1883 of 2023.]
