Getting through Toronto is no easy

task, especially during rush hour.

"It's really busy." "I think you could use a

lot of improvement."

"I always have to wait for another train

just because it's so popular". "There's

delays

almost every day." To help ease congestion

the TTC announced yesterday that two

additional trains will run during rush

hour,

but how effective will this be? "The city

can't really do much to make it better."

Enter line six. A new type of transit

launched this week in the form

of an express bus route between Liberty

Village and Union Station.

"We want to come up with an alternative

way for people to

commute in the morning and just get

around the city in general." The bus seats

up to 24 people

and makes seven trips daily during

morning rush hour.

The bus also offers guaranteed seating,

wi-fi on board

and flexibility for riders. "Part of the

beauty of having

a bus system and a bus network is that

you can change it

to meet demand." While the pilot ends this

week,

Line Six plans to expand. "The next step

is to take this to

other communities in the suburbs where

commuting can take an hour and a half to

get to work."

After a comfortable 15-minute drive

we've just arrived at Union Station from

Liberty village on the Line six express.
