Original Toronto Star caption: The better way: Taylor Lowndes found four legs most efficient during the last transit strike in 1978. Those of us relying on wheels - or only two legs - better start preparing for the nightmare another strike can mean. With 1.4 million riding the TTC daily; that's a lot of cars to fill.
