Sometimes, it truly feels like you can get from A to B in Toronto faster on foot than on the TTC , and blogTO has been putting that frustrating feeling to the test with a series of videos that have thus far featuredin the city amid ongoing construction on the Gardiner Expressway and King Street West, and gridlock has become so bad that one of our intrepid reporters felt confident that they could outpace a bus in the car-congested area by walking.
For this test, blogTO's Anton and Madison went toe-to-toe — or I guess toe-to-bus — in a race to determine if a casual walking pace can beat a TTC vehicle slogging it through Liberty Village traffic. Our contestants started their 1.3-kilometre race along East Liberty Street at Strachan bound for Dufferin, all in brutal weekday rush hour traffic.
However, this was actually the second such race tested for this experiment, as the pair made the exact same trek outside of peak traffic hours. The bus easily defeated walking in this lower traffic test, meaning your mileage may vary based on the time of day.
