	SkyTrain (Vancouver) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SkyTrain cars reach speeds of 80 km/h, when including wait times at stops, the end-to-end speed is 35 km/h, three times faster than a bus and almost twice as fast as a B-Line express bus.
		SkyTrain's fare system is organized on the proof-of-payment system; there are no turnstiles at the entrances to train platforms.
		Skytrain will normally post personnel to collect and check fares at station entrances when a large volume of passengers can be expected, for example at the Stadium-Chinatown Station following a British Columbia Lions or Vancouver Canucks home game.

	Hawaii Reporter: Hawaii Reporter
		The SkyTrain is a heavily subsidized operation (over half a billion in annual taxes go to its operator from motor fuel taxes and property taxes) and because of the intertwined nature of transit operations in Vancouver (buses, trains and ferries), it is not possible to assess its exact level of subsidy.
		(Note the dependence of Vancouver’s population to transit: It has almost the same number of vehicles as Oahu for a population that is nearly three times that of Oahu.) Despite many billion dollars spent on the SkyTrain, the growth of vehicles and bus usage have remained unabated and proportional to population growth.
		To summarize, although Vancouver, British Columbia is a fairly large city with less crime than U.S. cities of similar size, crime on or near the SkyTrain is a major concern.

	Fare gates coming to SkyTrain stations « Stephen Rees’s blog
		In fact the perception of the extent of crime on SkyTrain is due in large measure to our wonderful media, who always talk about any crime in the vicinity in terms of its distance from the SkyTrain station - even though there may be no apparent link to the use of the system at all.
		And the reason that you do not see many people using the ticket machines at SkyTrain stations (and the SeaBus) is that they already have a proof of payment on their person: they either have a pass of some kind, or they paid on the bus and got a transfer.
		Vancouver is a great place to call home, but as far as transit is concerned, and transportation in general, other places look better by the day.
