Evergreen Extension

<p>The Evergreen Extension (previously known as the Evergreen Line) is a 10.9-kilometre-long (6.8 mi) extension of the <a href="/facts/Millennium_Line/2L9T8QF9">Millennium Line</a> of <a href="/facts/Metro_Vancouver/oNow9ov4">Metro Vancouver</a>'s <a href="/facts/SkyTrain_(Vancouver)/AMWCt54b">SkyTrain</a> <a href="/facts/Rapid_transit/bbhkQbAW">rapid transit</a> system. The extension runs from <a href="/facts/Lougheed_Town_Centre_station/fRRajEjF">Lougheed Town Centre</a> in <a href="/facts/Burnaby/GkynB216">Burnaby</a> to <a href="/facts/Lafarge_Lake%25E2%2580%2593Douglas_station/HtBTupgb">Lafarge Lake–Douglas</a> in <a href="/facts/Coquitlam/ygmmezwy">Coquitlam</a> and included six new SkyTrain stations and an upgraded existing station (Lougheed Town Centre) on the Millennium Line. It began operations on December 2, 2016.
</p><p>Since the extension opened, the Millennium Line has operated between <a href="/facts/VCC%25E2%2580%2593Clark_station/lEKw3xuH">VCC–Clark</a> and <a href="/facts/Lafarge_Lake%25E2%2580%2593Douglas_station/HtBTupgb">Lafarge Lake–Douglas</a>. In 2012, the Evergreen extension was expected to see 50,000 riders daily in its first year of operation, rising to 70,000 passengers per day by 2021. Actual usage, however, has consistently been lower than this, with 30,000 trips taken on an average weekday in January 2017, rising to almost 40,000 trips per day in 2019, before usage dropped sharply as a result of the <a href="/facts/COVID-19_pandemic/0xTsh7Ut">COVID-19 pandemic</a>.
