Railway transport is divided into two types: transcontinental – along the border with America, and vertical, which is, from north to south respectively. Rail freight transport mainly predominates, with the most developed located in the south-eastern industrial regions of the country. Although, in some regions, commuter trains, as well as interregional passenger trains are very popular. The wagons in the trains are comfortable and quite clean. Major cities in Canada have a metro. Montreal and Toronto have four metro lines, linking both the country’s far regions and the largest shopping centers. In Vancouver the SkyTrain system prevails, which is also referred to as the “easy metro” system. A system of this type in Canada is the longest in the world, with fully automated control mode.
Due to the fact that Canada has a fairly large territory with a difficult terrain, the “Funicular” is quite common. Although one of the oldest means of transportation around the country, it unites the Upper and Lower towns. Initially, this transport was water-powered, but today it is successfully operating by electricity. It should be noted that the funicular is not only a convenient and fast mode of transport, but also provides an excellent opportunity to admire the local beauties from a height. If you are planning long trips, it is best to use air transport. You can reach just about any destination in the country by air. Canada’s major airlines are Air Canada and Canadian Airlines. The cost of flights is however quite high, but regular promotional offers and sales are conducted on air tickets, thus attracting many tourists to the country.
