Over the past few years, the heart of the festival has moved south from the Bloor-Yorkville area to a line from the Lightbox over to Yonge and Dundas.
The new geography presents its own challenges for the dash from a theatre in the west to one in the east (or north to the two remaining holdouts along Bloor). Street traffic is too congested and the subway has its limitations, despite what our mayor believes.
The answer to the above comes on two wheels. There are Bixi stations near to most of the theatres. Even though they drive like tanks, they're still faster than the rest of the transportation options. Eaton Centre to Bay and Bloor took 10 minutes in rush hour. Perfect for the Premiere Rush.
