So, here's an idea. I'm sure people will come along and poke holes in it, but I am throwing it out as a starting point. We should have a high-speed rail corridor from Vancouver to some ferry terminal on the east coast, following the transCanada route. With vehicle cars. 1/4
So you get on in a city and you get off in another city, and you have your vehicle there. Say you are going from Vancouver to Regina. You put your car in to go in a Regina bound car carrier, and you get on the train. 2/4
You can read, sleep, play games or watch movies on your phone, and when you get to Regina, the Regina-bound cars are unloaded and you collect yours and go on your way.
It would take a ton of vehicles off the highway. It would reduce accidents caused by fatigue. 3/4
It would take a ton of vehicles off the highway. It would reduce accidents caused by fatigue. 3/4
It would reduce GHG emissions. It would alleviate a lot of stress around driving cross-country. Think of it as a land ferry. 4/4
