The LG Bridge dilemma

 While other cities can build proper bus & HOV bridges or tunnels, Vancouver is reluctant to augment its narrow bridges.

https://www.vancourier.com/news/six-fun-facts-about-the-lions-gate-bridge-1.23130030 LGB https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/transportation-infrastructure/projects/lions-gate

Some cities can have a bridge wide enough to accomodate a train component, or at least have a train bridge or tunnel close by. Unfortunately, Vancouver has been locked into a multigenerational chokepoint planning agenda. Most real cities try to do things to improve on their bottlenecks.

UK towers and trains...

...using a simple "cut and cover" method to excavate an enormous pit 24 metres (78 ft) deep and 265 metres (869 ft) long.  The first step was the lengthening of the trains from 6 to 7 cars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Wharf_tube_station


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docklands_Light_Railway 2 or 3 vehicles per trainset

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docklands_Light_Railway#Rolling_stock

The trains are formed from sets of 2 or 3 semi-permanently connected cars, the increase to 3-car trains being introduced progressively on the busiest routes in 2010, following substantial platform extension works.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docklands_Light_Railway_rolling_stock

In 2017, Transport For London (TfL) published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union seeking expressions of interest from manufacturers to build a new fleet of 43, 87-metre-long (285 ft 5 1⁄4 in) trains.
