text: That's an interesting question because I was just pondering this the other week as well. I can't say there's one specific type of transportation for the SkyTrain lines and their respective stations. It seems to be in who you ask. In some cases, it's referred to as a subway (a subway does not always mean it's underground after all), but to others (which is what I'm leaning towards) it is considered to be rail and thus would be a railway station as opposed to a "public transportation stop position". We definitely need to come to a consensus on this though someday. Per the wikipedia articles on the SkyTrain, I see "rail" referenced more times than "subway", but "subway" is indeed referenced too.
