A Toronto man challenged the newly-opened Finch Light-Rail Transit to a race — and he won.

The Toronto Transit Commission’s Line 6 was riddled with service disruptions and disappointment from commuters during its opening week, particularly as advocates and councillors called for signal priority and faster trips. 

Mac Bauer, who regularly races TTC vehicles, decided to take it upon himself to see if the new line truly was as slow as people described it to him.

“People started sending me articles of it taking 55 minutes, 60 minutes to go 10 kilometers,” he said. “This shouldn’t be happening.”
