Pros: There are frequent garbage collection and good seats for naps. Crew members are nice. The restrooms are quite clean. I thought it's a good choice for students to take VIA in the summer peak time. Cons: There was a little problem to connect to the WiFi on board. Maybe, it will be easier to connect in the future. Thanks. Tips: Bringing your food to the train might be a sensitive idea.
