[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Still an additional point. First, likely some of you know that I am obverse to the quotation of fares at a railforum for future travel. In fact, I prohibit such at another site at which I moderate an Amtrak forum. However, with the ready access to fares offered by carriers, my point can still be made. I just priced up a Winnipeg to Vancouver trip for early June on VIA in a Roomette. I was utterly astounded - and yes I did discount the quoted price by 15% for US/CD exchange. Out of further interest, I then priced a CHI-SEA trip early June in a Roomette - that fare was some 25% less. Now I realize that there is much consensus suggesting the VIA travel experience is superior to that offered by Amtrak, but 25% superior???? Folks, people love trains and want to ride 'em, but capacity is quite finite - on VIA as well, and that great economist named Polly the Parrot is happy to tell you why. 'Hey Polly, what you say?" "Supply and demand...supply and demand' OK girl, shut up!!! [/QB][/QUOTE]
