Via Rail Exploits JetsGo Demise

CNW Telbec

Jumping on the bandwagon, Via Rail is taking advantage of JetsGo's demise to advertise their new, improved, higher fares. Taking a page from Air Canada and other carriers, they have increased the number of fare types, while increasing fares across the board. Although still the best way to travel in the Quebec - Windsor corridor, Via continues to make every effort to disuade us from using their service. There's something paricularly galling about a company that trumpets it's price increases as if they are new advances in customer convenience.
