Irish singer Niall Horan had to ditch his car and walk to Scotiabank
Arena where his concert was being held last weekend because the
traffic was "too bad" downtown.
Horan showed his short trip on foot in a video posted on his
Instagram.
"The traffic's too bad in Toronto, so we're walking to the venue,"
Horan says at the start of the video while traffic behind him is seen
bumper to bumper.
The video, which was sped up and had The Proclaimer's "I'm Gonna Be
(500 miles)" playing in the background, shows the former One Direction
member walking from just west of Yonge Street to an underground
entrance of Scotiabank Arena past Bay Street.
"In all the years I've been playing shows, I don't think I've ever
walked into a venue," Horan says as he arrives. "We made it."
Horan played in front of tens of thousands of fans at Scotiabank Arena
for two nights for his "The Show: Live on Tour."
Traffic has worsened in the city, especially downtown, due to reduced
lanes on the Gardiner Expressway as part of ongoing repairs. Last
month, tracking data showed commercial travel times on the expressway
increased 250 per cent during the morning rush hours since work began
two months ago.
In January, Toronto topped a list of the most congested cities in
North America, beating New York and Mexico City.
Last year, superstar Tom Cruise also asked, "What's up with the
traffic in Toronto? Have they figured this out?"
