Brampton Transit (BT) is a public transport bus operator for the City of Brampton in the Regional Municipality of Peel, and within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in Ontario, Canada. Brampton Transit began operations in 1974.

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 Street from Sandalwood to Square One in Mississauga and along Steeles from Brampton Gateway Terminal to Humber College.

Connections

Brampton Transit is connected with Mississauga Transit to the south, Toronto Transit Commission to the southeast and York Region Transit to the east.

Steeles Avenue, once the boundary between the former Toronto and Chingacousy townships, is a major Brampton thoroughfare. Route 11 runs west of Brampton Gateway at Hurontario Street, and eastward into Toronto to Humber College's Main Campus. There is a transfer at the college with Route 50, that serves developments in the Gore Road area near the former Highway 50 and Albion Road. In September 2007, the section west of Brampton Gateway became Route 51. It connects with Mississauga Transit at Mississauga Road and Meadowvale Boulevard.

Brampton Transit carries commuters to and from the Kitchener line railway station operated by GO Transit. There are transfers to and from the trains and buses at the Bramalea, Brampton, and Mount Pleasant (opened February 2005) stations, and direct connections to express buses at Bramalea City Centre and Trinity Common, and adjacent stop at Brampton Gateway.

Bus rapid transit

Züm New Flyer XDE40 in October 2010

Züm is Brampton's bus rapid transit system.[5] Its first corridor, 501 Queen was launched on September 20, 2010, and runs along Queen Street from Downtown Brampton to York University via Bramalea Terminal. It later branched out to add to frequency to the route with the 501A going along Highway 407, and the 501C begins at Bramalea Terminal rather than Downtown Brampton, to York University. Along with 3 other corridors like the, 502 Züm Main which runs North & South along Main/Hurontario Street from Sandalwood Loop to Mississauga City Centre Transit Terminal (Square One). The 511 Züm Steeles goes east to west along Steeles Avenue, from Lisgar GO Station in Meadowvale, Mississauga, to Humber College in Toronto via Sheridan College and Brampton Gateway Terminal.

Incidents

On July 3, 2018, four people were stabbed while riding the Züm bus in the area of Queen Street and McVean Drive. A 49-year-old man, was taken to a trauma centre with injuries that were serious but not life-threatening. Three Brampton women aged 28, 19 and 18 were also taken to a local hospital. 20-year-old Jade Nelson was later arrested and charged with four counts of attempted murder.[6]
