2555 and 2556 have been in service since the 10th, and reportedly 0838 has also entered service on the 10th.

Glad to see new buses being brought into service.

Really interested and happy to see the forward planning encompasses the entirety of the city. Tad bit funny how some of the areas set to get Higher Order or Züm are rural areas. I’m a little surprised that the McLaughlin corridor is only set to get priority transit south of Queen, and that Torbram is listed only as a “support corridor.” These other big ideas should help offset those either way, but nevertheless, these plans are great!

Edit: I didn’t even see the proposition for a transitway on both the 407 and 413, amazing!

Transitways on the 407 and 413 are both listed in official provincial plans, and are consequently included.

Despite some of the shortfalls that BT has at times, it really makes me happy to see this forward thinking. It seems that every time I've heard BT improving their transit operations by moving routes around, it isn't a question of 'if', but 'when'.

What really stands out to me is the grids. However.... I'm hoping that Brampton Transit does not do a LRT down Bovaird, and instead does a BRT. I've just lost all faith in LRT's after seeing just how long they take to be constructed and finally come into service. With BRT's, all you need is the road resurfaced, painted, and curbed to be separated from traffic. A+ If they get dedicated lanes that are separated from traffic in the middle of the road along with TSP / Independent signals. THAT would make me happy.

A question arises however - If higher order transit (LRT/BRT) extends down northbound on Main street, should the line remain underground until a certain point, or remain underground to the terminus? Should it go above-ground at Bovaird until its terminus at Mayfield road?

Mississauga Road NB of Bovaird is actually being widened to 6 lanes as we speak with a flyover for cars to keep traffic moving. It's good to see the region is actually making progress in that regard.

All I have to say is I'll keep my fingers crossed for the future.
