The Via Rail travel calculator lies.
Seriously, it has never taken me 5 hours to drive from Ottawa to Toronto, nor has it ever cost me $200 in gas.
Cheapest Train Fare (2 people) = $295.32 (4.5 hours)
Cheapest Bus Fare (2 people) = $112.50 (5 hours)
Car Rental + Gas (2 people) = $130.00 (4 hours)
Okay, it's a little more expensive than the bus, if I buy the tickets 2 weeks in advance with a companion fare, and with the car it gets me around the city when I'm there.
