Just because its a light rail train doesn't mean that the stations should only be 52% of the length of a Montreal Metro station. Vancouver really needs 500 foot or 152m long trains like Montreal, but the planners didn't want to allow for such a provision. The Skytrain should have been on the scale of the Montreal Metro. Especially since the city & region has a stunted road network.

Half length trains, half width roads & half height buildings, is indicative of a BC power-structure that doesn't want Vancouver & Victoria, or any city in BC to accommodate big time growth.
By keeping the infrastructure in BC quite stunted, it becomes a covert way to hold back development & urban growth. Then less people are likely to move into BC.
There is a sinister side to this, KEEP THEM OUT MENTALITY. Since most of the world is composed of nonwhite people, the slow growth initiative is about reducing the amount of people moving into BC. Even on a national scale, Canada is nowhere close from containing 1% of the worlds population.
