Brampton Transit

Brampton Transit is public transport bus operator for the City of Brampton in the Regional Municipality of Peel, and within the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario, Canada. Brampton Transit began operations in 1974.In May 2005, a major upgrade occurred that put more routes into a grid pattern. In 2006 Brampton Transit became Canada's fastest-growing transit system in terms of ridership. Over 10 million riders used Brampton Transit in 2006, marking a 12.4 percent increase over 2005 levels and shattering all previous ridership records for the city. The transit system is currently headed by Transit Executive Director Sue Connor. In 2010, Brampton Transit introduced Züm, a Bus Rapid Transit route running along Queen Street and Highway 7 from downtown Brampton to York University, along Main from Sandalwood to Square one in Mississauga and along Steeles from Brampton Gateway Terminal to Humber College.ConnectionsBrampton Transit is connected with Mississauga Transit to the south, and routes along main corridors serve features in both cities, such as Sheridan College (Brampton Campus), and industrial, commercial, and retail centres. It also connects to York Region Transit to the east via the Queen Street-Highway 7 corridor and Toronto Transit Commission to the southeast. Once the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre subway station is opened in late 2016, Brampton Transit will have a direct connection with the Toronto rapid transit system.
