This can create
long round-about routes that extend travel much beyond the physical
distance between these communities, inevitably involve two or more
stops and result in higher airfares. For example, anyone wishing to fly
from Thunder Bay, ON to Duluth, MN, would have to fly Thunder Bay–
Winnipeg–Minneapolis–Duluth. The only other alternative is to drive
a car, because cabotage restrictions also make it impossible to organize
regional cross-border bus routes
