    someone compared efficiency and long distance trains are more efficient, but that’s it.

        Bring back trains so we can have real suburbs, where you can live in a small town and be a 30 to 45 minute train ride from a city center.

        Bike and train could mean never having to deal with owning a car ever again.

            I live in Montreal, the REM is nowhere near where people live so people end up driving to it anyway, it doesn’t transfer from the Montreal Metro or buses and it’s more expensive.

            I honestly believe the REM exists so that our scumbag conservative provincial government can point at it and say “See? Trains are a failure!”, while he cuts public transport funding again.
