New transit route connects Brampton workers with out-of-town employers
Published May 1, 2024 at 10:37 am
Brampton Transit has a new route that will help move residents and workers out of town with the takeover of Caledon’s Bolton Line.
The route is now christened Brampton Transit Route 41 as the city has assumed operation of the line that will run along Highway 50 between Queen Street in Brampton to Columbia Way and Bolton Heights in Caledon.
Changes will also see the route service the employment lands along Coleraine Drive, connecting workers who want or need to take public transit to get to work.
The route takeover is part of a slate of changes to Brampton Transit service that started on Monday thanks to feedback from riders on some of the city’s busiest routes.
The city held four town hall meetings this month to share updates to the Brampton Transit annual service plan and hear from residents about their experiences riding Brampton Transit.
Here are all the changes coming to Brampton Transit routes starting on April 29:
