I love travelling by VIA. My first trip was across Canada to Vancouver and back, and it was a trip I will never forget. The meals were fantastic. Booking my trips has always been easy and the staff on the trains are always friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend VIA.

Normally really good. Since new update (Dec 11) cannot see current trip details or produce QR code, showing error code 400. I've cleared all history, caches and deleted the app, no luck so far.

CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAIN FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT WHAT WILL BE DONE TO FIX AN ISSUE, IF YOUR CUSTOMER SELECT THE LOWER BERTH, FROM THE UPPER BERTH FOR THE SLEEPER CLASS, FOR FUTURE RESERVATIONS? ONCE YOU TAP 'LOWER BERTH' THE DAMN SELECTION WON'T GO THROUGH!

Via rail has no idea what they are doing. They advertise internet, didn't work jad to use my phones' data, the employees had everyone shift out of 2 cars just to have everyone shift back, I had my ticket check by 5 different people and was threatened to be kicked off each time, not only will I be never using via rail again, but I will be spending the next while badmouthing them to everyone I can and publicly posting about the horrible experience I had.
