  • Cross-Canadian bullet train

    Probably never.

    The geography between Barrie and the Manitoba border or Calgary(or Edmonton) and Vancouver make it essentially impossible to do in any reasonable way.

    Plus, even at 300km/h, those distances will take forever to cross.

    Part of the reason very few people take the existing long-distance passenger trains is that is costs more than flying, and it takes days to get between most places.

    It would be much more practical to build high speed links that connect places that are seperated by 2-8 hours of driving. That would get hundreds of cars off the streets on a daily basis. (Even though people in other areas will bitch and moan that it doesn’t help them personally)
