   If someone is travelling ->TO<- Toronto, then most likely he doesn't   
   live in Toronto.  So bringing up the cost to insure a car in Toronto   
   does not apply here.   
      
   If insurance costs in mid-sized cities in SW Ontario are comparable,   
   then what I pay to insure a 7 year old car (about $1000 per year)   
   would be a good example here.  That works out to $2.75 per day.  In my   
   previous analysis, we had a $14.62 advantage for driving vs the   
   train.  Assuming a 36 hour excursion to Toronto from Waterloo, the   
   insurance cost would be $4.10, so the car is still ahead by $10.50.   
      
   The car option gives you freedom to choose when you travel, it lets   
   you take one to perhaps 4 passengers and/or packages or cargo, pets   
   etc, and you can travel directly to your desired destination without   
   the added expense and time for another mode of transportation to get   
   from Union station to your final destination.
