A train runs along the Evergreen line earlier this week in preparation of opening today.

After over a year of delays, the Evergreen Line is officially open today. This news should delight SFU students who live in Coquitlam and Port Moody.

The extension starts at new Burquitlam stop, going all the way to Lafarge Lake—Douglas with four stops in between. It will meet up with the already existing SkyTrain routes at Lougheed Town Centre.
