After being challenged on Twitter, Toronto Mayor John Tory has agreed to take a ride in one of the city's subway cars with air conditioning that isn't functioning..Bianca Spence first issued the challenge in July after enduring sweltering subway rides on her regular commute. I hereby challenge @JohnTory to ride Line 2 in a train with no A/C from Kennedy to Kipling. Hot subway cars have been an ongoing problem on the TTC this summer, with the air conditioning on almost 25 per cent of cars either broken or not operating at full capacity. "By next year, everything should be fine," said TTC spokesperson Susan Sperling.in an interview with CBC News in late June. Tory said Monday that he has been meeting with the TTC to work on the problem.
