Rapid Transit
The Canada Line rapid transit system opened in the fall of 2009. This line carries people between Richmond, Vancouver International Airport (YVR), and Vancouver’s Waterfront Centre in 25 minutes or less. The automated light rail technology has added almost 19 km and 16 new stations to the region’s growing rapid transit network.
Today, the Richmond corridor contains 20% of the region's population and one-third of the jobs. Over the next two decades both population and employment will continue to grow.
