In a word, worse. The airport is out in Leduc (the international airport) and it is a pain in the ass to get to. The city has started a bus service with Wifi and other amenities but they found that the only people using it with any regularity were the employees who worked at the airport. While I understand the concept of rail bias I doubt that there would be much different with regards to a train line.
There has been talk about a train in Edmonton but the general consensus has been that the value isn't there to justify the cost.
In fact they just had a large advertising blitz to convince people to fly out of Edmonton rather than Calgary - I don't know how well that has caught on though.
