My partner is spending a few days in Toronto, Canada for a work conference where she flew yesterday, and I was curious about the alternatives to flying between the largest American metropolis and the capital city of Ontario for a direct distance of 350 miles (560 km):
- Plane: in 5h door-to-door for $140-$330 + $150-$200 taxi round-trips at both ends.
- Car: 470 miles (750 km) (+34%) in about 8h40mn for $100-$150 fuel (no tolls included)
- Bus: in 12h05mn for $40-$140
- Train: in 12h27mn for $75-$130
There's so much room for high speed rail improvement in this region.

•Heh, I just edited my post to talk about part of the airport link to Toronto there, but, uh, yeah... The capital of Canada is elsewhere. 😁
At least you didn't South Park it and say she was heading to downtown Canada.

•Not to be That Guy, but our capital is Ottawa, Ontario.
Toronto is the capital of the province, and our largest city, but not our national capital.

•@Brian Ó I wrongly assumed it was being Los Angeles and Washington for some reason. 😵💫
This post isn't my best work fact-wise.

•Just joking!
But yeah, when I look at the train network that used to exist you really get frustrated with what we have now.
