@nerd4cities.bsky.social Canada is starting to take a serious look at high speed rail. I wondered if it really is good value.

Like wouldn’t the same money spent on local/regional transit benefit many more people. Ie expanding the subway in Toronto.

You can even see the current and proposed route on the map as a dashed line.

Very odd map, wrong locations for cities, and the route is all wrong as well.

Any company to use. If the government funded Nav Canada, stopped charging rent or subsidized the major airports, and paid for security. And supported small destinations (essential air service)

We could bring down the cost of flying, bring access to more people. And creat room for competition

I think there needs to be a discussion around how the costs of flying are paid though.

We have a user pay model here. So when you fly you help shoulder the cost of the infrastructure and the flight you are taking.

But maybe we should treat aviation like we treat roads. A system for anyone or

For a population 1/10 the US we do have a large and somewhat diverse aviation industry.

1 international (AC)
2(3)domestic (AC/WJ)and Porter?
1 ULCC (Flair)
1 leisure (AT)

And other specialty airlines.
