I went from Guelph to Toronto recently for a baseball game with my partner. Via rail was somewhere between $40 and $50 (I forget the exact amount) per person each way. We drove instead.
In short, make transit a more viable option and maybe more people will use it.
You wanted to take the Go. It is much cheaper and more convenient. The trade off is customer service and ostensibly comfort. (Though the via stock is pretty fucking old these days…) But the Via staff treat you like a human being and make an effort to solve whatever travel emergency you have encountered.
Y’all ever heard of trains?
Just one more lane bro. That’s all we need
Haven’t tried recently but I heard it still takes all day to go from Kitchener -> Montreal, and it costs $200 each way. (Hearsay.)
It’s a tragedy that our trains are so poor.
