    Have used high speed all over Europe. Often 4x the price of flying, but you have to book pretty far ahead to be able to get a seat. Works out much faster than flying because you can arrive minutes before it leaves, no checking luggage, and you leave and arrive right in the city center, not an hour outside of the city.

      Ouch, so its gonna be out of reach for many people to use. I know flying is cheaper in europe, but still. Especially with the cost of living crisis were experiencing, only people with disposable income will be able to take advantage of this. Very unfortunate.

      What’s a flight price for comparison to Canadian flights? From Vancouver to Toronto I’ve paid as low as $69 on swoop and as high as $1000 on air Canada.
