Comments / Commentaires: I experienced this: “VIA’s apathy for Northern Ontario runs so deep that officials said Longlac Station was “no longer required” and “passengers will have to wait outside” even though the Canadian is often very late.” As part of my film project taking regional trains in Canada and getting between them in public transit (in the editing stage now) I did an up-and-back Port Sydney to Longlac. It was cold waiting outside for the train in Longlac! I got to the tracks on time for the “live tracking” schedule (about 4 hours late) and then the app updated its prediction an extra hour late. I know the importance of a shelter (and heat and a toilet). Huntsville, with none of these for the bus, is a case in point.
