High Frequency Rail Will Cut Travel Time From Toronto To Quebec

Contributing Writer

Commuting in Canada is about to get a whole lot faster thanks to the government's proposed plan to build a High-Frequency Rail service.

On Tuesday, the Government of Canada announced the plans to complete the new service, which would include stops in Toronto, Quebec and Ottawa.

The project, which could be completed by 2030, aims to provide residents with cleaner, faster, and more reliable train service in the Toronto to Quebec City Corridor.

According to a news release, the new trains will be able to travel up to 177-200 kilometres per hour, which could allow for a reduction of up to 90 minutes in travel time on some popular routes, including from Ottawa to Toronto.

"High Frequency Rail in the Toronto to Quebec City Corridor is a massive transportation project with the potential to transform passenger rail service by offering faster, more reliable, more frequent, and cleaner transportation service," Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra said.

Currently, the government says it is planning to launch the procurement process by the fall of 2021.
