Four main products groups
VIA's network is made up of four
main products groups:
Quebec City-Windsor
Corridor, which accounts for approximately 85% of the Corporation's
ridership and 70% of its income.
Western services, between Toronto
and Vancouver, popular with the domestic and foreign tourist
markets, where the award-winning Silver & Blue
class tops the bill.
Eastern services linking the
Atlantic regions with central Canada via the Montreal-Halifax and
Montreal-Gaspé routes.
Northern services, in Quebec,
Ontario, Saskatchewan and British Columbia, often traveling through
sparsely populated regions where other means of transportation may
