Why HFR?

High Frequency Rail (HFR) will change the way you travel. It will put you first while redefining the way you live, work and play. This new 1,000-km passenger railway will connect Toronto, Peterborough, Ottawa, Montréal, Trois-Rivières and Québec City. HFR will provide a modern, reliable and sustainable rail service for a more mobile, connected and growing population.

By running on its own tracks, HFR will enable frequent, faster and reliable service on modern, accessible and eco-friendly trains.
