Walking Beats Subway in Toronto's Short Hop

0:00This is Cory with the story, and here's what is making news across Canada right now. Toronto commuters often debate whether to walk the short stretch from museum station to bay station, or deal with the subway transfer at St. George. The distance is under 600 meters, making it seem like an easy choice on paper. Cold and snowy weather this winter has kept many riders underground, even though it means switching lines and waiting in crowded platforms. Block-teal put it to the test during Thursday rush hour, racing a brisk 7.5 km per hour walk against the TTC subway to Italy in, Yorkville. The walker pulled ahead, covering the route in about 10 minutes despite peak crowds slowing the trains. If you can brave the chill during busy times, skipping the subway transfer saves you time on this quick hop.
