温哥华空铁延伸计划 Future expansion
The provincial government of British Columbia is solely responsible for SkyTrain infrastructure expansion.
[39] As of 2009, the provincial government has announced the following future expansions to the SkyTrain network:

The
Evergreen Line (previously known as the PMC Line [Port Moody-Coquitlam] or Northeast Sector Line) is a Phase II segment of the Millennium Line. It was originally scheduled to be completed in 2009, but was delayed to 2014 because of budget concerns.
[114][115] The line will connect Lougheed Town Centre Station on the Millennium Line in
Burnaby to
Coquitlam City Centre. Because the line was originally conceived as Phase II of the SkyTrain Millennium Line, a third platform was built at Lougheed Town Centre station. A secondary round of planning resulted in a change in technology to a
light-rail trainway. The latest planning review resulted in an announcement on February 1, 2008 that the provincial government's preferred system was Automated Light Rail, or SkyTrain-like technology. The expected cost of the line is $1.4 billion.
[116] The goal of this latest change is to boost projected ridership by adding capacity and speed, and by integrating the system with the Millennium Line to reduce the number of times users need to change systems. Given the reference to integration, it is likely the Evergreen Line will use Bombardier's ALRT technology because of the proprietary technology on the existing Millennium Line.
While the provincial government's push for ALRT technology puts the current plan into question, as a tramway, the Evergreen Line was proposed to connect with the existing Millennium Line, running from Lougheed Station elevated along North and Clarke Roads, through a tunnel under
Burnaby Mountain, through Port Moody, and towards Coquitlam Centre, where it would run at grade along the Canadian Pacific rail line. It would then connect with the Coquitlam West Coast Express commuter rail station. Elevated again, it would turn northward along Pinetree Way and end near Douglas College.

Early proposals planned to extend SkyTrain west along the Broadway corridor, but stopped well short of UBC because of the cost, estimated at $700 million in 1999.
[118] However, the Provincial Transit Plan, released in February 2008, includes funding for the entire Broadway corridor to UBC. The line would replace the region's busiest bus routes, where over 100,000 trips are made daily. The line would also include an interchange with the Canada Line at Cambie Street. The new line is estimated to cost $2.8 billion and to be completed by 2020.
[39]
Government statements suggest that the UBC line will be an extension of the Millennium Line from VCCClark station.
[119] This would mean that commuters from Coquitlam to UBC would not need to change trains during their commute, as Evergreen Line trains would continue to UBC from Lougheed Station. Commuters from the Evergreen and Millennium Lines east of Vancouver would have a secondary route to downtown by changing to the Canada Line instead of the Expo Line.

The recent Provincial Transit Plan included a 6-km extension of the Expo line from King George Station in Surrey east to
Guildford, then along 152 Street to the
Fraser Highway and southeast as far as 168 Street.
[120] It also called for lengthening all Expo Line station platforms. Current platforms can fit six-car Mark I trains and four-car Mark II trains. The extended platforms will accommodate eight-car Mark I trains and six-car Mark II trains, increasing the Expo Line's capacity. The total cost is expected to be $3.1 billion.
[39] The Expo Line will be further extended along Fraser Highway to
Langley Centre in
Langley, and a second branch extended south along King George Highway to 64 Avenue, by 2030.
