S5 Ep86: Why It’s So Hard to Travel Canada

Curious Tourism: Responsible Travel Podcast

Traveling within Canada is incredibly difficult. The quick options are expensive and the cheap options take FOREVER!
The transport landscape in Canada is extremely limited, which means that if you don’t have a car, there are barriers to get around. This is a problem not just for people in Canada, but for people who would like to visit and spend tourism dollars here.
Paris Marx joins us to help us understand why getting around Canada is so hard and the deep structural changes needed to create a sustainable mobility system that serves the public good.
