It has significant problem when it come to increasing capacity. Because it's mostly single track, they can't increase the frequency that easily. That leave it to blasting and twining, which will probably wipe out any saving made by reusing that freight line. And extending the platform so that they could tack on more cars when necessary. Line 2's ridership is pretty pitiful in comparison. Daily ridership is 16900 [1]. SkyTrain does 25000 passenger per hour per direction [2]. Outside of the door problems, we're already seeing capacity problems for Line 1 now. Platform gets full, and it is built for the current configuration, so you can't add more cars without major construction (read: service disruptions). This is what happens when we cheap out on infrastructure. We end up paying twice, and getting less for the money. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillium_Line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillium_Line 2: https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/translink-2017-kevin-desmond-canada-line-built-skytrain https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/translink-2017-kevin-desmond...
