PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, February 13, 1990 -- 3 NT p= Toronto consulting firm undertakes passenger rail study A feasibility study looking at passenger rail service in southern Ontario is underway by a Toronto consulting firm. And the study by IBI Group is expected to be complete by . the end of April, said Paul Pag- nuelo of the Toronto/ Peterborough Passenger Asso- ciation, the group that got the idea of a study off the ground. The study will examine the potential of five passenger rail lines in southern Ontario. These are Peterborough- Toronto; Belleville-Toronto; Kitchener-Toronto; London/ Brantford-Toronto and Orillia- Toronto. The study will examine such things as ridership, esti- mate of costs and revenues, op- erating concepts and the possi- bility of institutional arrangements. In announcing that the study is officially off the ground, Mr. Pagnuelo said last week he "hopes the study will persuade Bombardier to preceed with the immediate privatization of five passenger rail routes in Onta- rio, by concluding the proposal is financially viable." Last December, just before the Toronto-Havelock VIA pas- senger service was chopped, the Passenger Association ap- proached Bombardier of Mon- treal inviting the company to own and operate a passenger network to be known as Canadi- an Commuter Rail, or CCR. Bombardier showed some interest in the concept and asked for more specific details, hence the consultants study now underway. Several municipalities have contributed to the estimat- ed $30,000 cost of the study. Mr. Pagnuelo said that since the massive cuts in rthe VIA service took effect on Janu- ary 16, the level of interest in re- viving and revitalizing passen- ger rail service has been overwhelming. "People prefer commuting by train to Toronto over other modes of transportation such as car or bus. The train insulates travellers from weather and traffic and consistently can guarantee safe and comfortable on-time travel," he said. He added that the need is there as commuters face in- creasing congestion on the roads, higher costs for operat- ing private vehicles and in- creased awareness of the need for environmental protection.
