VIA Rail Ottawa Toronto recent customer reviews

One of the worst experiences I've ever had! We took a train ride from Ottawa to Toronto between 4 and 8 a.m., and the horn in front of Cabin 5 kept sounding constantly, which was incredibly annoying. I understand the necessity of the horn, but they could definitely take measures such as soundproofing Cabin 5 or providing ear protection for passengers. The train is also delayed by 35 minutes!

The (business ) number one) and the sound of the alarm horn made us uncomfortable. The rest of the services are good.
