Torontonians who commute to work everyday will likely spend about one year and seven months of their life on public transit, according to a new report.

Based on that calculation, Toronto commuters will spend an average of one year and seven months riding public transit, the report notes, though it pales in comparison to what transit takers in Mexico City face. There, commuters spend 67 minutes for one-way trips, equalling to one year and 10 months spent riding transit in a lifetime.
As for how many lines or modes of transportation Toronto commuters take, about 22 per cent take just one to get to where they need to go – the lowest number in North America.
