Via Rail web page, no prices?

[dumpthemonarchy]

I am surfing the Via Rail web page to see how much fares are for general interest. Do you think I can find schedules and prices between major centres? no frickin' way. Am I dumbass moron or is Via mgmt a dumbass moron?

Someone tell me how this web page operates. Gov't agencies of all sorts have web pages that are far too complex as far as I can tell.

Which link? I tried the 3 I posted and they work for me. I think it's your pc with the glitch, not Via.

Anyone, someone, show me a page where they have prices on the Via Rail web page. Can't find nuthin'. They have no prices anywhere. Save one for a fare somewhere in the east. When you choose a trip, it can say "Invalid blah blah blah". I have no idea of the train routes at all.

In the federal government apparatus, worrying about money must be for the little people.
My problem is this, I have a budget and I want to see how far I can get with say, $1000.

god be praised, I found a price on this page, yahoo, time for a party. Hush hush children, they mention money. Cover your eyes.

It said, for example, an economy fare from Vancouver to Toronto is $429 or so. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This website, like the federal gov't, is cubersome and opaque. And I am on a different computer now.

it's a common thing for websites that sell expensive things to not show the prices at all. Very annoying. I suppose the assumption is that since it's that costly people will phone if they really want to buy It's a pet hate of mine though. Sensible marketing practice is to tell your customers what the price is, and to not piss them off by leading them in circles.

L.G.'s first link works fine. You just enter the days you want to travel on and what kind of seats you want and hit search.

Works fine. How? I punch in vancouver, Toronto, one adult, and get no prices. This is feeble.
