Capstan Station Opens on Canada Line in Richmond

The $62 million SkyTrain station serves the growing Capstan Village area, projected to house 16,000 residents.

  • Capstan Station, located between Bridgeport and Aberdeen stations on No. 3 Road, officially opened on December 20, 2024.
  • This is only the second time TransLink has added a station to an existing SkyTrain line, following Lake City Way station in 2003.
  • The station was funded through a $62 million cost-sharing agreement, with over half of the funding coming from developer contributions via the City of Richmond.
  • TransLink plans to increase Canada Line capacity during peak travel hours to address potential overcrowding.
  • The Capstan Village area, where the station is located, is rapidly developing and expected to accommodate 16,000 residents in the near future.
