In the runtime of this episode, you could travel about 5.2 miles (to Albion station) on Line 6.
Today on the show, we'll be discussing Toronto’s 2nd newest light rail line, the Finch West LRT. Just why does Canada's largest city have two weird spur lines branching off from the Line 1 Subway, and what good is line 6? All this on today's show.
