Canada has announced a significant investment of $2.75 billion into a high-speed rail network, named Alto, which will connect Toronto to Quebec City. The rail service aims to reach speeds of up to 186 miles per hour, halving the journey time between Montreal and Toronto to three hours. Designed to compete with air travel, Alto is expected to create 51,000 jobs, boost GDP significantly, and improve economic productivity while reducing emissions. The announcement follows critical views of California's high-speed rail project by the Trump administration.
"Montreal to Toronto in three hours - you can't beat that," he added.
The new train line could make train travel more competitive with flying.
"Alto will transform our economy - drastically shortening commute times for millions of Canadians, turbocharging economic growth, creating thousands of good-paying jobs, improving productivity, and reducing emissions."
