it would be interesting to see if a train was approved, would the government allow more development of things in the park - like that gondola those people wanted to build? In addition, I feel like somehow canada's cell phone companies would need to improve coverage in the parks if you are going to look at having uber as an option to move people between the train station and trailheads (however, one could only imagine the "rush pricing factor" that would likely get into play in Banff and area.
in the end, i still see this as a nice thing, like a high speed train to edmonton; however, I also feel it will be a financial boondoggle.

The gondola was already shot down while fully aware of this plan, it's not going to happen.
The point isn't to take a train, then an Uber to the trailhead. That's silly. There are already buses going most places you want to be. Look, clearly this isn't something you think will be useful to you, doesn't mean it wouldn't be useful to many others.
