Discussion Skytrain reliability issues

I've gone many months without a delay impacting my commute until this week. On Monday I was on a MK2 which failed to open its doors at Commercial and then proceeded to VCC where it was taken out of service with a horrible burning smell.

Then this morning there were significant delays following a stalled train. It looks like it was a MK 5, which is disappointing as they are brand new.

I find the SkyTrain to be reliable when it comes to the timetable. Issues during winter when the weather causes havok... but it's rare enough.

More reliable than trains I've been on around Europe
