Beating the US in nearly anything, let alone public transportation, is a low bar. That’s like saying that a healthy young person beat a frail grandma at MMA. Canadian cities should set their sights towards places like Paris, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc.

When was it ever a competition? Doesn’t the classical view of America always envision muscle cars and highways as a manifestation of freedom?

This article is ridiculous.
It the cornerstone of the REM’s viability is it is able to utilize century old infrastructure. How much would it cost to rebuild the Mount Royal Tunnel and assembled old CN Deux-Montagnes ROW the in the present day?
There are lots of American cities with commuter rail running on existing rail lines.
How on earth does either compare to Los Angeles tunnelling through alluvial sand, silt, gravel and clay?
Lets see if Alto is more or less of a disaster than California High Speed Rail before taking a bow.
