I am heading a group of people trying to promote passenger rail service for Northern Ontario .
When I ran for the Provincial election for the Northern Ontario Party
I heard from many people how this was very important to them .
Remember the train conductor saying this before closing the doors and departing .
Well we are losing all our passenger service .
At this time there is a Budd car running Sudbury to White River .
Then there is a passenger train running Cochrane to Moosonee .
And of course there is Via that runs from the east cost through to Vancouver on the CN line .
That's is leaving a huge part of Ontario without passenger rail service .
We are loosing our bus service at a alarming rate and this at the time were our population is getting older making it hard for some of us to drive specially in the winter months as the roads are made impassable at times and very dangerous to travel on .
Whether we are travelling for doctor appointments , shopping or pleasure .
The train is a much more comfortable means of transport then the bus and safer then cars specially in the long winter months .
The solution extend the Budd car from white River to Thunder Bay and beyond to Winnipeg .
And implement a Bud Car route North Bay To Hearst .

Also

A comparation of prices finds the train also a much more affordable means of transportation .

lets compare Via Rail to

The Budd Car is a self-propelled diesel multiple unit railcar.

Cars were primarily adopted for passenger service in rural areas with low traffic density or in short-haul commuter service, and were less expensive to operate in this context than a traditional diesel locomotive-drawn train with coaches.. Here is a short video showing a Budd Car leaving the station in Sudbury .
