     My partner is spending a few days in Toronto, Canada for a work conference where she flew yesterday, and I was curious about the alternatives to flying between the 3rd largest American metropolis and the capital city of Ontario for a direct distance of 350 miles (560 km):

     • Plane: in 5h door-to-door for $140-$330 + $150-$200 taxi round-trips at both ends.
     • Car: 470 miles (750 km) (+34%) in about 8h40mn for $100-$150 fuel (no tolls included)
     • Bus: in 12h05mn for $40-$140
     • Train: in 12h27mn for $75-$130

     There's so much room for high speed rail improvement in this region.
