In other words, if I want to go to Quebec City on VIA Rail, and I am expected to transfer twice between trains in Montreal with luggage in hand, I will say, forget it, with a big exclamation mark, It really kills train transfers in Montreal if the destination is Quebec City.

if you want to go to Quebec City, use your car.
