Passengers of VIA Rail Canada are now able to order the special cabins by phone, which can be found on the VIA Rail Canada’s web-site.

My opinion
From my point of view, VIA Rail Canada is doing a great job with providing an opportunity for all people to use its transport. It is great news that people with disabilities are now able to travel around the country with any guardian, or even independently. In the new trains, everyone has enough space to allow rest and feel safe. I’m pretty sure this is not the last innovation for people’s convenience. It’s no doubt that VIA Rail Canada will introduce something new for its passengers quite soon.

Question
Do you usually feel comfortable when traveling by train?

  2. Well, I can't disagree with you, Bhumika. Air transport is much faster then train, thus it is less time consuming. However, if you enjoy staring out the window or just reading the book with accompaniment of wheels' sound (which I do);
    if you would love to have an opportunity to stretch your legs during the trip (which I would); if you are too afraid of heights (which I am) - I would totally recommend you to travel by trains. Whether or no, thank you very much for sharing of your opinion with me.
