Francis Cook@infobeautiful so what happened to the trains? No demand? Too expensive to run? Snow on the lines?
SeaPersonal vehicles burning oil/gas on inefficiently designed roads to serve the few at the cost of the many.
Canada loves monopolies and sucking off corporations.
@Sea1Am @infobeautiful so stick some car transporters at the end of the train and sell that? In Canada it would make sense. You go from province A to D (or a territory if you’re feeling adventurous) and the drive off to your final destination. Doesn’t really answer why people abandoned them en masse.
Advertisements equating car ownership and freedom convinced generations of idiots to get on their knees and suck off the oil barons.
