Hmmm,

So from the sounds of it, the plane doesn't want to fly straight and level (like I presume the old 737 did), but rather, naturally wants to nose up until it stalls, so software was installed that would help keep the plane level. 

yeah, I could see how this would be a bad thing, especially if the software failed.

Something similar happened to Airbus....the plane even crashed during an airshow introduction.

It's only a 29 hour drive.

I plan on driving to Phoenix eventually, possibly after I retire.

Probably be safer/quicker to drive....and a hell of a lot more pleasant

Have to love train travel in Ontario.

VIA Rail - Brantford - Toronto (1 hr trip each way) for two people return.

Coach $198.88
VIA1 $467.82

NOTE: If I book much further ahead I could probably get it down to $113 on coach.
 
Wonder how much for GO train.

Aldershot - Union = $48 (two people return).

Maybe if I drive a little closer.

Oakville - Union = $36 (two people return)

Guess I'll flip a coin between Oakville or putting up with the traffic/parking and just drive (200 kms return).

For my flight to Barcelona, it was snowing (around 10cm).  And the flight is around 6.  I didn't want my wife to have to drive me (and the kids) to the airport, then drive back with the snow and traffic.  So I took the GO Bus, from the Hamilton GO station to Terminal 1, for $12.  It stops at some car pool lots, and a few others, like Square one.  First time!

No . Seniors pay 50% what I do. How is that fair? Maybe the pricing should be scaled by age.

That is very reasonable and much easier than having somebody drive you. Heck, I'd use that service even on a nice day.

And I paid with cash.  I suspect if I had a Presto card, it would be less.  As for the seniors discount, there is a seniors seniors discount.  Over 80, Presto card is free!  Works in 11 municipalities, my grandfather has it.

I didn't know that. That is actually brilliant. They should make public transit free for anybody over 75 (or 70?) just to get them off the roads.

Maybe if they advertised it once a while.  Who knows ridership might go up!

I search Presto website , could not find anything about free over 80

My apologies.  Just looked at it again.  Looks like Ron is right, just HSR in Hamilton.  Still decent rates for the others I guess.

I'm glad there are deep thinkers doing research like this.  I enjoy reading it.
