East Coast Bias
East Coast bias is the perceived tendency for sports broadcasting and journalism in the United States to give greater weight and attention to teams and athletes on the East Coast than those on the West Coast. In Canada, a similar bias is perceived but the area given greater weight and attention is the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, which are mostly in the same time zone as the East Coast of the U.S., as the East Coast of Canada includes the provinces of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador, which collectively have only about 2.5 million residents, compared to the combined population of over 23.5 million of Ontario and Quebec, which is 61% of Canada's population.

Florida East Coast Railway
The Florida East Coast Railway is a Class II railroad operating in the U.S. state of Florida, currently owned by Grupo México.

East Coast Main Line
The East Coast Main Line (ECML) is a electrified railway between London and Edinburgh via Peterborough, Doncaster, York, Darlington, Durham and Newcastle. The line is a key transport artery on the eastern side of Great Britain running broadly parallel to the A1 road.
