Brampton Transit is revising its services, starting Labour Day, Monday, September 3.
The transit agency is increasing service hours along six routes. It’s also dramatically increasing the frequency of service along nine routes — in one case, doubling the service.
It’s also resuming services that it temporarily postponed during the summer, including extra service to and from the University of Toronto’s Mississauga campus and high schools.
In a news release, the City of Brampton says that these changes “ensure its transit system continues to move people around the city safely and effectively.”
