About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges and plans for Toronto's transit system as it prepares for a major sporting event this summer.

Toronto is about to welcome the world. One of the largest sporting events on the planet is coming to the city this summer, and getting millions of visitors to and from the waterfront is no small feat. With match days expected to be bigger than Game Seven of the World Series, Toronto's transit system is about to face its biggest test. Recorded live at the Board's Home Field Advantage event, Giles Gherson sits down with Mandeep Lali, CEO of the TTC, and Michael Lindsay, President and CEO of Metrolinx, to talk through the plan, the pressure, and what it all means for downtown employers.
