Changes are coming soon to over a dozen Brampton Transit bus routes that the city says will improve reliability heading into fall.
The service adjustments start as of Sept. 8, with updated schedules, operational changes and improved service reliability on some routes to better meet ridership demand, the City of Brampton says.
Last year saw a 13 per cent drop in Brampton Transit revenues, leading to significant route changes and updates in 2026. Several routes were suspended in April due to low ridership.
City numbers show that transit users declined by 20 per cent in 2025 from the previous year, and that lost revenue has amounted to $26 million.
Here are all the upcoming changes to Brampton Transit bus routes starting on Sept. 8.
Weekday schedules have been adjusted to improve service reliability on the following routes:
501 Züm Queen.
511/511C Züm Steeles.
7/7A Kennedy.
14/14A Torbram.
18 Dixie.
Saturday schedules on the following routes have been adjusted to improve service reliability:
505 Züm Bovaird.
