What would have added even more to that deficit? Maintaining and replacing an aging fleet. There were a lot of other cars, such as the ones from CN in white and black as well as the Via blue with a yellow stripe (could be the same cars, just repainted) that are no longer around. That makes the...

So... now for something different. The 1990s cuts did not happen because they needed to cut routes.The happened because they could not replace the fleet. Think of that era. They ran anything with anything. Most of that stuff is long gone. So, this may have been more of a way to cut out the bad...

The other thing to check is if there already exists something there. If there is, then it would be a waste to put the effort in when someone already has.

I think the first thing I would need to do is first figure out the legal licensing before any of that. Point is, things like that could appeal to some. No different than how driving themselves appeals to some. People stopped relying on the train once an all weather road was built. Now those...

The far out there answer is they could be moved to other locations needing them. Even at Pearson, there are days when there are lots of cars and there are days when good luck getting anything. I'd imagine the same, where the long weekends would be booked solid. .... you are starting to see a...

Imagine schlepping the same baggage to an airport. Some people are wealthy enough to have a vacation home somewhere far away and visit as regularly as someone might visit a cottage. They drive to and from the airport. The car is not good or bad. But, it is not always the best thing.Think of...

Imagine a parking garage at Washago. In that parking garage are a hundred or more rental cars. Outside of the station is a transit terminal with bus bays. So, instead of taking your car and crawling along the 400 to get to your cottage, you take the train and then for the major marinas, a bus...

Which country has the highest length of HSR?

The car is only king in North America. Some places, like China it is political, but elsewhere it tends to be because they invested in rail transportation while we were pulling up rails. The Metro Line is being extended towards it, but not to it. If the train stopped more than 4 times a week (2...

If that is the case, a route between Calgary and Edmonton should be started up and invested in. Outside of the QC=W corridor, it is the area of Canada's highest population not served by intercity rail.

Of your list, the following does not have track on it. Sydney-Halifax Halifax-Yarmouth Thunder Bay - Sioux Lookout Montreal-Lachute-Ottawa Montreal-Sudbury The following has no tracks in certain sections but could still be connected in a reasonable manner. Quebec-Hervey Senneterre-Cochrane...

What you speak of is the chicken and egg problem. The railways are just a piece to the larger puzzle of the car culture. Local transit also plays into it. For instance, Edmonton.'s LRT system should have a line to the Via station.If it did,the line might be used more. Even with airports, if a...

Me too. I imagine that certain places would have corridor like services. I also imagine that the car would still not be king. By now, we might even have HSR along the Corridor and the C-E corridor.

I have said before that Via has been cut into irrelevance. Outside of the Corridor, this is the case. From the cuts to routes and frequency to the more recent testing finding all the LDF needs to be replaced ASAP The government and Via has allowed Via to become irrelevant. I talk of being able...

The current system we have isn't great, but it works to a certain extent. The feds get their election ready photo ops. The municipalities get their transit projects, an the provinces don't have to pay the full amount. Why would any of them want that changed? WE should move to a better system...

Generally the cost of the projects get split in thirds. So, take 1/3 of all transit projects in the GTA and get rid of them. Is that what you are advocating for? In general, the airports are owned by arms length government entities. They are there to ensure the airport can put through as many...

They were the same ones that voted ABC. They are people who ignore politics. They do not know how the governments work.My favourite is I poke to one who I know, and they thought the sky high property taxes were JT's fault.

A train twice a week does not serve locals. It serves tourists. Tourists that do not spend much money along the route.
