=== Canada Line === {{Main|Canada Line}} The Canada Line begins at the Waterfront station hub, then continues south through Vancouver into the City of Richmond and Sea Island. From [[Bridgeport station (SkyTrain)|Bridgeport station]], the Canada Line splits into two branches, one heading west to the [[YVR–Airport station]] at [[Vancouver International Airport]] and the other continuing south to the [[Richmond–Brighouse station]] in Richmond's city centre. Opened on August 17, 2009, the Canada Line added 15 stations and {{convert|19.2|km|mi|abbr=on}} to the SkyTrain network. Waterfront station is the only station where the Canada Line directly connects with the Expo Line; however, [[Vancouver City Centre station]] is within a three-minute walk from [[Granville station (SkyTrain)|Granville station]] via the [[Pacific Centre]] mall, making an unofficial transfer to the Expo Line. The Canada Line cost $1.9{{nbsp}}billion, financed by the Governments of Canada and British Columbia, TransLink, and InTransitBC.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://canadaline.ca/aboutFinancing.asp |title=Canada Line Financing |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090808115201/http://canadaline.ca/aboutFinancing.asp |archive-date=August 8, 2009}}</ref> The Canada Line's trains, built by [[Hyundai Rotem]], are fully automated, but are of a different design from the Expo and Millennium Lines' Bombardier-built fleet. They use conventional electric motors rather than linear induction motor technology. Canada Line tracks do not interconnect with the rest of the SkyTrain network, and there is a separate fleet maintenance depot.<ref>"Canada Line Opens In November 2009."
