Elevated stations are not ideal (Calgary has some) and I agree that the consensus is that modern street level LRT are preferable.

However, most Vancouverites consider Skytrain a big success overall and the system has been extended incrementally since the original line opened in 1986. No one says "I wish we never built skytrain". Skytrain has been a big positive for Vancouver, despite the elevated design and relatively low capacity for such an engineering-intensive design. The driver free operation has been a boon, and many subway systems are switching to similar driver free operation.
