Unfortunately, Vancouver chose to have the shortest stions in Canada. Shorter than the Montreal metro, TTC subway, Edmonton LRT, Calgary CTrain and the Ottawa OTrain. Now, its difficult and more costly to have proper big-city, long station platforms. The CLine only has 40-50 m stations, while the Montreal Metro has 152.5 m stations. A 500 foot long platform is what one would expect for a proper big-city station.
