Oh, oh. Brian may be right

Although it will be cheaper than my friend Brian’s estimate of $45, a ride on the new express train between Union Station and Pearson Airport may be set too high. Obviously, to be of use to most of us, the trip must cost significantly less than a trip for two in a limo.
From our place, a limo ride costs around $70. That’s $35 each to have service to our door. If we wrestled our luggage onto the TTC, rode to Union Station ($5 for two, one senior), it would take us at least half an hour to get there. Add the 25 minutes promised to ride to the airport and 15 minutes between each train departure and we’d be at Pearson in one hour and ten minutes. The limo is faster AND easier.
If the train ticket cost, say, $15, we could hump our luggage to the streetcar, then from the street into the train station and reach the airport for $35. For a mere $5.00, though, the two of us can go TTC to Pearson all the way, bypassing the new, “fast” train altogether.
What if we liked the limo front door service and tried to match it by taking a $28 cab ride to Union? If they set the train price as high as $20, our cost would be virtually the same as the limo cost. No point using the train.
So Brian’s expectation that the “The train will be a money losing disaster, methinks.” may well be correct.
