Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to announce details of a new high-speed rail line connecting Quebec City and Toronto, with hopes to reduce travel time to three hours. The chosen consortium for the rail line was informed of their successful bid just one day prior to the announcement. The train will travel at speeds of 300 km/h, using a new electrified track and will facilitate travel between multiple cities, including Montreal and Ottawa. However, initial cost estimates reach up to $80 billion, with potential changes from future governments.
The train is expected to travel at 300 kilometres per hour, double the speed of Via Rail's current trains, making the journey from Montreal to Toronto just three hours.
Proponents of the project hope it will significantly reduce travel time, as a car journey from Montreal to Toronto currently takes approximately five and a half hours.
