Metrotown Located near: Metrotown Serviced by: Expo Line, Millennium Line Reason for importance: The main reason why Metrotown gets the amount of passengers as it does is due to the Mall, the second largest in Canada. Metrotown is one of the top three busiest SkyTrain stations, the others being Granville and Commercial-Broadway.
Columbia Located near: 4th Street Serviced by: Expo Line, Millennium Line Reason for importance: Columbia Station gets its share of importance as it is the final station before the Expo and Millennium Lines seperate.

As the terminus for the 97 B-Line, as well as many other Burnaby and Coquitlam routes, Lougheed gets a lot of its traffic from buses.
