Via Rail Canada Inc. (reporting mark VIA) (/ˈviːə/), operating as Via Rail or Via, is a Canadian Crown corporation that is mandated to operate intercity passenger rail service in Canada.
Via Rail operates over 500 trains per week across eight Canadian provinces and 12,500 kilometres (7,800 mi) of track, 97 percent of which is owned and maintained by other railway companies, mostly by Canadian National Railway (CN). Via Rail carried approximately 3.3 million passengers in 2022, 96 per cent of which were along the Corridor routes connecting the major cities of the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor, and had an on-time performance of 82.6 percent.[3] Attracting international tourism forms an important part of Via Rail's long distance trans-continental services.[4][5]
