Future Expansion
Several possible expansions to the SkyTrain network have been announced. The Evergreen Line, which will run from Lougheed Town Centre to Coquitlam Town Centre and Douglas College, will be opening in middle of 2016. TransLink has previously released a ten-year outlook outlining a potential UBC Line and further expansion of the Expo Line into Surrey. More recently in 2011, two separate rapid transit studies have given further examination and consultation into rapid transit options for expansion for both the UBC/Broadway Corridor as well as Surrey and the South of Fraser region. Expo Line capacity upgrades are also being planned to meet future demand.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or expansion:
“It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty. But so sure as it is that men live not by bread, but by ideas, so sure is it that the future of the world lies in the hands of those who are able to carry the interpretation of nature a step further than their predecessors.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Every expansion of government in business means that government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its errors and wrongs is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation’s press and platform. Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
