> Trains that come every 90 seconds
It's remarkably hard to get reliable numbers on train frequency in subway stations worldwide. However, it is generally believed that the only system in the world that gets headways smaller than 100 seconds/train is the Moscow Metro at 90--95 seconds per train = 38--40 trains per hour (tph), followed by the Jubilee line of the London Underground at 100 seconds/train = 36 tph.
While it's easy to find no shortage of sources that say that SkyTrain in Vancouver can "theoretically" run at 75 seconds/train = 48 tph, the more optimistic figures of its actual peak frequency look like 108 seconds/train = ~33 tph. Some sources I found (including the official schedule) suggest 150 seconds/train = 24 tph.
