These Prices Are Insane!

I knew the prices were getting up there but a ticket that used to be $45 and at most for a late booking $85 just totalled out to $141.19 for ECONOMY! The Business class was $248 before taxes! I understand inflation but this is just getting absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention the last couple of times on the train I’ve been placed in the oldest fleet of train cars, we’re talking back to the red seats which are god awful in terms of comfort and table space. I rarely complain about VIA because they’ve generally gotten me where I need to go, but lately they’ve been majorly dropping the ball. With a 42% on time record last quarter they’re loosing more money than ever with refunds and discounts, none of that is the passengers fault and we definitely shouldn’t be the ones punished for it.
