It costs a hundred bucks just to take the smelly old Greyhound to Edmonton and back. The swankier Red Arrow is closer to $140. The Alberta Supertrain would cost a lot more than that. 200 bucks is probably a cheap estimate. Even if you drive a Hummer, you can beat that.

Say you want to take the wife and kid up to Edmonton so you can sleep in the bed of a plastic truck for the weekend, why you're looking at 600 dollars in train fare.

Like guzzy said, probably going to be around $50 for people to use it.
