Brampton continues to grow and, as it grows, it builds new roads into newly developed areas.
Recently, contractors finished connecting roadways in several new neighbourhoods in Brampton, so Brampton Transit is extending its services along those roads to reach new passengers, starting Monday, October 30.
Chief among those new services is extending the 6 James Potter route further north along its namesake road and Creditview Road to Mount Pleasant Village Terminal, where passengers can connect with GO Transit trains at Mount Pleasant GO Station.
Similarly, BT extends the paths for buses operating along the 31 McVean and 36 Gardenbrooke route into another new community.
It’s also increasing service — or the hours of service — along several other routes:
Brampton Transit is revising service along these routes: 2 Main, 3 / 3A McLaughlin, 4 / 4A Chinguacousy, 5 / 5A Bovaird, 6 James Potter, 18 Dixie, 29 Williams, 30 Airport Road, 31 McVean, 36 Gardenbrooke, 50 Gore Road, 92 Bramalea GO shuttle, 104 Chinguacousy express, 511 Züm Steeles.
Specifically, Brampton Transit is: increasing service along routes; decreasing service along routes; decreasing the frequency of serice along routes; revising the paths for buses operating along routes; and adjusting the schedules for buses operating along routes.
