VIA Rail Canada is hoping that its discounted fares will prompt more travelers to hop onto one of their trains.

The Youth Summer Pass lets Canadians travel anywhere in Canada for only $599. People from the ages of 12 to 25 have unlimited travel throughout the VIA network.

The pass is valid for Economy class and lets people travel for 60 consecutive days now till August 31.

There is a limited quantity for these passes which are on sale until August 15.

Travellers must have a valid government-issued photo ID card present at the time of purchase and while travelling.

The Youth Summer Pass is refundable and exchangeable. However, it will cost a $50 service fee plus applicable taxes to do so. The pass should not be expired or used.

People should note that the Youth Summer Pass cannot be combined with other discounts or promotions. Upgrades to other classes of service are also not permitted.

For so many university students, instead of working a dead end job, traveling across the country and expanding one’s mind is an education in itself. This allows young people to explore new parts of the country and even consider living there. -CINEWS
