A high-speed rail line that would take passengers from Whistler to Downtown Vancouver in just over half an hour could revolutionize travel in the Sea to Sky.
Called the Mountain Valley Express (MVX), the envisioned high-speed rail corridor would connect Vancouver to Whistler in the north and Chilliwack to the east. With speeds of up to 300 kilometres an hour, proponents say the MVX could carry up to 15,300 passengers per hour and would cut down on travel time by up to 80 per cent, compared to driving by car.
