Canada

It's nice to dream about investments and trains that don't exist yet but unfortunately nothing is going to get better for actual VIA services.

I live without a car, have to use trains, and current services are either lacking or overpriced. People without cars using trains and coaches are watching all other intercity options slowly whittle down while everyone else is excited by a shiny brand new investment project that won't move people before at the very least half a decade.

It would be an exciting project if there was a greater transit plan coming with it, like the revival or investment in regional lines. But sine it's "just" one line, in PPP, while everything else seems to be ignored, it's difficult to be enthusiastic about this.
