VIA Rail Canada is having a discounted Tuesday special offer today, where you can save on select last minute routes if you travel by either Economy or Sleeper class. To take advantage of these savings however, you had better act quickly and plan even quicker since the special fare will only be available until 11:59pm EST.
You will also have to travel on or after Wednesday, January 28th and your return ticket must be booked with VIA Rail on or before Tuesday, February 3rd.
There is a select number of seats available at this discounted rate, but with a quick itinerary mapping out I was able to find a roundtrip ticket from Toronto to Montreal, booked in Economy, for just $88.14.
To give you an idea of what this trip would normally cost, I looked at next week’s fares for the exact same itinerary and this trip would end up costing me $42.94 more than if I booked the trip for this weekend; which is contradictory to the normal fashion, as when you book closer to your travel date it is normally more expensive.
