    Slow travel — a movement which favours ferries, trains and buses over traditionally speedier modes of transportation and moments of pause over action-packed sightseeing — has been gaining steam as of late.

    *sigh

      Slow travel is good, but we should have high speed trains also, like every other developed country.

      Lets not try to paint our slow and outdated trains as something good

        Sorry if my comment was vague (I didn’t find it vague when I commented).

        I was merely lamenting the fact that the author states that trains, ferries, and buses as slower modes of transport as if it’s simply a fact and not just a lamentable general truth in Canada.
