I think this sounded unreasonable in my head so I decided to try some comparables:
Ottawa - Montreal -> 161km -> 1hr
Paris - Reims -> 136km -> 2hr~ (SNCF)
Osaka - Nagoya -> 140km -> 0hr50m (JR)
Frankfurt - Koln -> 147km -> 1hr15m (DB)
Shanghai - Hangzhou -> 161km -> 0hr45m - 1hr15m
Marseille - Nice -> 161km -> 2hr40m (TGV five stops)
London - Bristol -> 169km -> 1hr24m (NR)
Paris - Lille -> 198km -> 1hr (TGV no stops)
Personally I think Ottawa-Montreal in 1hr30m is acceptable, especially considering auto journies will only become longer as traffic increases.
