- FirstClassPartnerships, Inc. (FCP), a well-respected leader in
transportation planning, was contracted by the Ministry of
Transportation to develop a business case for transit in the
Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, and a pre-feasibility study on
High Speed Rail from Toronto to London.

- 17 million intercity trips per year in Toronto London corridor,
and demand keeps growing Today, travel is overwhelmingly by car, on
401 Bus and rail each have only 3% - 5 % In corridors with similar
population, density, car ownership and incomes, High Speed Rail is
commercially viable

- By 2025, it would attract about 6 million passengers per year
About three-quarters of passengers would be diverted, with 20,000
car trips taken off 401 each day Fare revenues would repay most
capital investment with a net cost to government of about $500m
While High Speed Rail would directly serve only London and
Kitchener, GO riders from Guelph, and communities across south
western Ontario would see benefits
