Ridership has increased in the past year for VIA. I forget the exact amount, but it's by close to 1%. As you may recall, VIA's network was significantly reduced back in 1990, and since then, every year VIA has recorded small but definite improvements.
We have seen important growth in some of the commuter rail systems across the country, whether on West Coast Express in British Columbia, GO in Toronto, or AMT in Montreal. I think what that's telling us is that people are prepared to shift to those modes and are travelling longer distances on those modes. Most of the commuter rail services are travelling quite a distance. They're not short-haul; they're a significant distance apart. And people seem more amenable to taking it.
I guess we want to see whether that trend can be applied to this, and whether this service is provided in a timely trip time that starts to rival air or can provide a time duration equivalent to air. I think, as many people notice, that it's much more convenient to travel by rail. As you know, we don't have to sit stuffed together in an airplane and don't have to do the same kind of check-in as early as possible. People may be more amenable to taking rail than they were 10 or 15 years ago.
