I get that other parts of the country have effectively no rail service at all, but that doesn't mean that further investments in the Corridor aren't worth supporting. If HFR is successful that makes investments in the rest of the country more likely.

Theres a train from Toronto to Ottawa every hour 5 days a week. Up to 10 trains a day between the two pairs. 6 trains a day between Toronto and Montreal. You can be from downtown Toronto into Ottawa in 4:15 minutes. Impossible to do driving.
