With HSR at the speed of 420-660 km/h, this transportation vehicle leads to the quick development of human resources and freight flow. This increased efficiency propels and improves GDP in the region and the country. The HSR at 660 km/h which is tested successfully has a deep influence on the transportation market. At this speed comparable to the plane, the plane may lose its market share. In consideration of the boarding and luggage claiming time, the overall time spending on a similar trip with HSR may be quicker than the airplane’s if the distance between the destination and the departure is less than 9,000 kilometers. When we compare HSR with sky-flying vehicles, speaking of the travel’s time cost, only some special airlines like the 15,329 kilometers 18-hour flight between Singapore (SIN) and Newark (EWR) with Airbus A350-900ULR can compete with HSR’s. When we compare HSR with ground vehicles, if the sea tunnel for HSR is constructed, none of the other types of vehicles can be comparable to HSR in terms of efficiency [1]. In short, if top speed HSR such as Hyperloop with its 1000-4000 km/h is successfully constructed, as sustainable logistics, no other transportation will be comparable to such HSR [2]. However, although the province of Quebec is known for its vast amount of hydroelectricity and other recycling resources that can be implemented into the electrical system that empowers HSR, at the present stage, in the Great Montreal Area, there is no presence of HSR. Because of this reason, this paper discusses the suitability of the implementation of the HSR system and the cost-benefit of its implementation, with the reference of the Chinese one. Different mathematical models such as World Banks’s and their implications will be talked over [3]. Eventually, based on simulations and AI analysis, these models will be upgraded and be constructed to suit specifically the Great Montreal Area situation. Based on upgraded mathematical models, this paper will conclude whether the HSR is suitable for the Great Montreal Area and discuss the correlation between the HSR implementation and the financial and economic development in the region.
