"The teams are proposing both low-floor, light-rail vehicles with drivers, capable of operating at street level, and fully automated driverless vehicles similar to those used by SkyTrain.All three proposals would see riders making the journey from downtown Vancouver to Richmond Centre in less than 30 minutes and from downtown Vancouver to the airport in less than 25 minutes."
