The Premier wants Ontario's transit to go high speed and he said it's only a matter of time before bullet trains connect the provinces.
Steps are already in progress as Premier Dalton McGuinty told 680News "[...]we're now funding a study to see how we can make this a reality."
According to McGuinty, Ontario needs to catch up to the high speed transit systems already in Japan and Europe that are able to travel as fast as 200 km/h.
He said bullet trains are the future and he has even talked to Quebec's Premier about them.
"Jean Charest and I have sat down and we've enlisted the support of the federal government. We think we should have a high speed train. We wanna move people and families quickly and efficiently," he explained.
McGuinty stressed the last thing Ontario needs is another highway 401.
