It would be a good start towards having rails service in the big urban corridors. Especially Toronto-Montreal and even Calgary-Edmonton. The latter not being as densely populated, but super easy to build.
Travelling long distance by bus is akin to torture so ideally in the medium term I think we should be building a network that combines both. A bus network that could bring us into rail hubs where we could hop on a train for longer trips. Longer term we should be transferring over to high speed rail generally.
We could learn a lot from the coach busses of South America. The full sleeper booths are so luxurious. Even the semi sleepers are great.
The greyhound was complete and utter trash.
Yeah, part of the problem here is how things are setup to be as profitable as possible so cram as many people as possible into the space.
