Transit riders often feel like the 95 RapidBus is not as rapid as it could be. A group of advocates put that to the test on a Friday afternoon.

Josh reported live from the field as Better Transit YYJ staged a race from the Legislature, pitting the bus against cyclists and a team of joggers and fast walkers, with the goal of highlight delays along Douglas Street and through Colwood.
