Züm articulated buses may be assigned to other routes for additional capacity and to support physical distancing practices.

These changes will be implemented in order to re-allocate additional resources to some of Brampton Transit’s busier routes as we continue to limit bus loads to half seated capacity to support physical distancing practices. The goal is to provide as much service as resources allow and to ensure all areas of the city have reasonable access to public transit.

Good Friday service – April 10

Brampton Transit will be operating on a Reduced Sunday/Holiday Service for Good Friday. Details about the Reduced Sunday/Holiday Service, including route cancellations, are available at www.bramptontransit.com.

The Contact Centre will be open and available to assist riders from 9 AM to 6 PM at 905.874.2999.

Brampton Transit Facilities and Customer Service counters at terminals are closed to the public.

COVID-19 safety measures

An enhanced cleaning and sanitizing schedule remains in effect. It is Brampton Transit’s goal to disinfect all hard surfaces, operator compartments and seats every 48 hours. Buses are currently sanitized every 24 hours. Facilities and terminals that have hard surfaces are wiped down and sanitized on a daily basis. Riders are encouraged to carry their own personal disinfectant when traveling, such as hand sanitizer or wipes, and wash their hands often.

The City of Brampton is working closely with its partners at Peel Public Health and the Brampton Emergency Management Office to continue to monitor risks.
