Brampton Transit Page

Brampton Transit provides bus service throughout the city of Brampton, which is immediately north of Mississauga and west of Vaughan. The fleet consists of 263 buses, including Orion I, V and VI; New Flyer D40LF, and NovaBus LFS buses, along with a single Leyland Olympian double-decker brought out for special occasions. The service population is 434,000. Connections can be made with Mississauga Transit and the TTC at the Westwood Mall in Malton and at various other locations where the systems meet. Brampton Transit also operates a rapid transit system called “Züm”, currently operating along Highway 7 between York University in Toronto and the Bramalea City Centre using a fleet of specially painted New Flyer Xcelsior buses, and planned to expand into a network of BRT routes along key arteries throughout the city.
