VIA Rail PressReader has announced an expansion of its partnership with VIA Rail to extend complimentary access for eligible passengers beyond business lounges. Passengers in business classes on VIA Rails’ The Ocean, The Canadian and The Corridor routes can now access PressReader 20 hours before departure and up to four hours after arrival, offering uninterrupted access to digital newspapers, magazines and more throughout the entirety of the travel experience. PressReader’s catalog includes more than 8,400 premium newspapers and magazines from around the world, along with thousands of eBooks and a selection of games. Passengers can enjoy the latest editions of leading titles like The Wall Street Journal, The Toronto Star, The Guardian, Le Journal de Montreal and Canadian Geographic. “Iconic journeys call for exceptional experiences,” said Ruairí Doyle, CEO of PressReader. “By offering PressReader before, during and after the trip, PressReader and VIA Rail are making those journeys even more exceptional.” Eligible passengers can access PressReader by downloading the VIA Rail app, selecting “View trip details,” and choosing “Newspapers and magazines.” Content can be read online or downloaded for offline access, supporting a more convenient, entertaining and sustainable travel experience. “The train is one of the few places where you can genuinely sit, let go, and enjoy the ride,” said Philippe Normand, Vice-President, Marketing and Communications at VIA Rail. “This expanded partnership builds on that by giving our passengers access to premium content that enriches every part of the journey, from before they board to after they arrive.” MDOT MTA…
