That's how it was in Italy. The train can go slow on the snail-trail within the city, then go pedal to the metal on the new track outside. That said I suspect Alto might be able to buy dedicated track to downtown MTL. The Lakeshore corridor in the GTA which goes through Union has gov't owned track for GO.

I hope there's enough political will behind it, like there is behind the REM in Montréal. Those dudes are working miracles in contrast to the shit show that is the Eglinton LRT.
