=== Expo Line === {{Main|Expo Line (SkyTrain)}} The Expo Line connects [[Waterfront station (Vancouver)|Waterfront station]] in Vancouver to [[King George station]] in [[Surrey, British Columbia|Surrey]], principally along a route established by the Westminster and Vancouver Tramway Company as an interurban line in 1890.<ref>{{Cite report |title=Your Ride Guide 2006 (Vancouver Sun, with TransLink and Bombardier) |last1=Heckenast |first1=Joe |last2=McGraw |first2=Jim |year=2006 |publisher=McGraw Media |place=New Westminster, BC |page=14}}</ref> The Expo Line (originally referred to as simply "SkyTrain" until the opening of the Millennium Line) was built in 1985 in time for [[Expo 86]]. It now has 24 stations. The Expo Line ran only as far as [[New Westminster station]] initially. In 1989, it was extended to [[Columbia station (SkyTrain)|Columbia station]] and in 1990, once the [[Skybridge (TransLink)|Skybridge]] was finished, it continued across the Fraser River to Scott Road station in Surrey. In 1994, the terminus of the Expo Line became King George station in central Surrey. It was built on a budget of $854{{nbsp}}million (1986 dollars).<ref>{{cite news |title=SkyTrain and Cambie Bridge taking us down road to Expo Series: The Eighties; [1* Edition] |work=The Province |last=Mason |first=Bruce |date=December 31, 1989 |page=20}}</ref> Effective October 22, 2016, Expo Line trains began operating on a new branch to [[Production Way–University station]], taking over the previous [[Millennium Line]] service between Waterfront and that station. During peak periods, trains between Waterfront and Columbia arrive every 2 to 3 minutes. Between Waterfront and King George, trains arrive every 2 to 5 minutes during peak hours, while trains between Waterfront and Production Way arrive every 6 to 7 minutes in the peak hours.<ref>{{Cite web|title=SkyTrain Schedules|url=https://www.translink.ca/schedules-and-maps/skytrain|access-date=January 3, 2022|website=www.translink.ca|language=en-CA}}</ref>
