SkyTrain

In nineteen eighty-five, the Skytrain tram:
An undertaking of enormous pride,
An answer to the city's traffic jam,
Commitment to the future one can't hide.

The blue and yellow lines run west to east.
The Expo was the first to be complete,
A marvel to behold, great speed unleashed.
A straight shot, Waterfront to King George Street.

Millennium was built two thousand two.
It follows Expo to a point halfway,
Then dives to darkness, silent, tunnels through,
To New Westminster, Brentwood, links Broadway.

The future holds extensions west and south,
To UBC and to the river's mouth.
