“This new study challenges the wisdom of moving forward with the high-frequency rail option, and instead presents a strong argument for developing high-speed rail along this corridor instead.” Why not both? Bring the economic, environmental and equity benefits of frequent service to underserved small communities now, while expanding a high-speed rail network. #Canada #PassengerRail #HSR #HighFrequencyRail #3Es #EconomicDevelopment #Environment #Equity @CascadiaRail

So like, the media doesn’t care to know (other than #radiocanada) that Transport Canada threw a call for bids for a “high frequency” train (why not call it #HSR?) 5 days ago? From #Quebec City to #Toronto.
Granted, the time shaved off seem pretty minimal (30 to 40mins faster than a car). But it’s a start!
