Will ticket prices come down too? Or will via rail remain a public entity which is for some reason hopelessly attempting to turn a profit? The cost of gas to drive Montreal - Ottawa is less than a ticket, and the train's not even any faster. It's no wonder nobody travels by rail.

@knuke24 I'm living in the world as a Locomotive Engineer for VIA rail. It's 332 Miles from Toronto to Montreal. Our current trains can do 100mph, our new ones will be capable of more then that. With no Freight trains to slow us down, sub 4hrs is definitely possible. Sub 3hrs to Ottawa.

@alex_taranu @TransportAction @VIA_Rail @CanadaForVIA Opportunity for $491 million for capital to fix bottlenecks for HFR corridor. Brampton is familiar with this. This is what was done around 2008 when a second and third track added better Bramalea and Georgetown, and bridge expansion over the Credit River. My pictures. https://t.co/eecnUW4jAG

I really hope we see @VIA_Rail upgrades in the budget. Dedicated tracks, more frequent service, then faster trains, then ramp down and restrict the 1-hour flights that no longer need to exist. (Sorry Porter, I love your style but want you to pivot.)
