A few weeks back I took our new Canada Line Skytrain (subway) service to YVR airport. Here's a wee video I shot. Actual trip was around 26 minutes; this clip is 3:47.
There are only 2 cars, but they hold up to 300 people between them. At peak it can run every 4 minutes to/from the airport and 4 minutes two/from Brighouse (the line splits at Bridgeport). That means trains every 2 minutes in Vancouver itself.
All automatically driven on clean electric power too.
