Brampton Transit provides transit service to the city of Brampton, Ontario, Canada, a rapidly growing suburb of Toronto. Brampton Transit offers services that cover the whole of Brampton, and offers connections to other parts of the Greater Toronto Area through GO Transit's Georgetown corridor rail and bus service, as well as Mississauga Transit (Mississauga), York Region Transit (York Region) and the TTC (Toronto).
History
Starting out as a Dial-a-bus service until the mid 1970's amalgamation of various smaller agencies, Brampton Transit is currently expanding to meet the needs of the city, including: bumping up frequencies, purchasing new buses to replace old ones, and introducing new routes to existing and developing areas of the city. Recent developments include the online route planning system eRide, equipping its fleet with bike rack for the Bike & Ride program, and planned future Bus Rapid Transit service known as Züm.
Züm
Main article: Züm
In the summer of 2009, the City of Brampton unveiled its new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service brand, "Züm" (pronounced Zoom). Previously known as AcceleRide, Züm began service in September 2010 and has grown to a network of BRT lines along key corridors throughout the City. Züm is operated by a fleet of specially painted New Flyer Xcelsior BRT buses.
