The Regional Airport expansion is largely being funded by passenger landing fees, is it not?
Unfortunately, since the only transportation users of the new station would be government owned agencies (eg GRT, GO/Metrolinx, VIA), there's not much room in ticket prices to slide in an equivalent fee.
The current station was built by the private railway operator (Grand Trunk Railway) and then absorbed into the nationalized Canadian National Railway system before being divested to VIA Rail. As it is only open around the time that trains operate, presumably, as the trains operate closer together, the station could be open for longer periods of time.
