I hear you loud and clear. I love trains, and I love riding them... but it's very difficult to justify the expensive ticket price. We own a Prius and the cost to Toronto and back in fuel is around $5-6. I really wonder how people can take GO or VIA back and forth to Toronto each day at $20-50... I mean, that's a huge, huge fraction of your earnings for the day in transportation fees.
I hate that rail travel is so expensive in Canada, but like many things here, the cost of running a network in a country as huge as ours is amortized over a much smaller population base.
What about Greyhound - I think it's about $10-15 the last time we took it (to get to Union - so we could take the Canadian to Vancouver!).
