VIA Rail Canada receives praise for its friendly and attentive staff, contributing to a generally positive travel experience. However, some users have reported issues such as delays in arrival times and difficulties with ticket upgrades on the website. Additionally, there were concerns about luggage fees not being reimbursed when trips are missed despite early arrivals at the station.

This was my first time taking the train. I absolutely enjoyed the professionalism of your employees. Super friendly and accommodating. I loved the whole experience!
