They should not be cutting corners when maintaining the system. High quality parts should be used instead. The passengers are dissatisfied with the system again.

Inside news? Where is the proof? I am open to evidences.

Funny that you would bring up China.

The Expo Line and Millennium Line use Bombardier's Advanced Rapid Transit (ART) technology.

When the Millennium Line was built, TransLink used Mark II ART trains from Bombardier Transportation, which were manufactured in a Burnaby factory.

SkyTrain service in Vancouver has been fully restored after service was shut down between the Commercial-Broadway and Stadium stations around 6 a.m. PT Monday.

Just before 10 a.m. TransLink said full service was restored, but delays are expected and extra bus service between the stations was being kept in place in order to ease congestion, according to spokesman Drew Snider.

"It appears that the train had picked up something along the track and that caused a break in one of the loops, which is the communication feature between the central control computer and the train. When that happens the computer just shuts everything down for safety reasons," said Snider.

Millennium Line trains were running VCC-Clark to Sapperton and turning back with a shuttle between Columbia and Sapperton.
