Seniors save with VIA Rail

VIA Rail has always tried to take special care of its senior travellers - making especially sure that travel is easy, affordable, and comfortable. That's why at VIA we offer a number of ways to help seniors save when they travel Canada by train.

Always save with the seniors' discount

As a traveller over 60, you can get a special senior discount fare of 10% off the full adult fare in Comfort (Economy) class. And this is even in conjunction with many other offers: read on!

Seniors bring a friend for free!

Aside from a discount off the regular fare, seniors can travel with a companion at no extra charge during most of the year. Read more about the Seniors : Bring a friend for FREE! promotion.

Nothing beats taking the train.

Enjoy the comfort of the plush seats where you'll be offered coffee, drinks, meals, snacks… anything you desire, all while you sit back and enjoy the scenery that rushes by your window. Lay back and enjoy a nice book, or, if you're spending a night aboard, opt for a room in sleeper class and lie down and take a nap in your cosy bed.

On some distance train trips you can even stroll down to the Park Car, where you can meet other travellers like you in the passenger lounge. Or maybe take a little walk to the Skyline car with its panoramic dome that lets you see the landscape for miles through 360 degree windows.

An ideal way to travel!

When you take the train we want you to enjoy your journey as much as your destination, and so we do the most to accommodate all your needs, both as VIA passengers and as seniors.

As a senior you can board ahead of other passengers. As someone with special dietary needs you only need let us know 48 hours in advance and we'll be sure to provide you with special meals (if your trip includes meals aboard), and, of course, if you have any other needs - if you travel with an escort, or if you are in a wheelchair - we will do everything we can to help.

Enjoy the chance to see places you've never before explored and practically unreachable by other means of transport. Take the train - it's the ideal way to travel!
