Y’all ever heard of trains?

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (9 children)

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.

I mean Kitchener to Montreal is something close to 700-800km even if we had high speed trains that would still take about 4 hours if they average 200km/h, and they still have to make stops on the way.

But having more trains running would be a good start at least.

It needs to be cheaper and faster than driving, and it isn't even competitive on either.
