It must be understood by travelers in Canada that Train System in Canada is a monopoly. It will probably cost you more time and money to travel by train versus air. For example a full price adult return ticket from Edmonton, Alberta to Vancouver BC between Mar 4, 2011 and Mar 11, 2011 was quoted at $401.10 (including taxes and fees) by ViaRail. Add to this the fact that train travel requires more costs because of the travel time and related peripheral expenses. The same trip by a Canadian airline will cost you less than that. For comparion, WestJet quoted $396.96 for the trip and Air Canada had a 15% discount running for that period and quoted $347.60 (including taxes and fees). Go figure.
