'''Brampton Transit''' (BT) is [[public transport]] [[bus]] operator for the City of [[Brampton, Ontario|Brampton]] in the [[Peel Regional Municipality, Ontario|Regional Municipality of Peel]], and within the [[Greater Toronto Area]] (GTA) . It began operation in [[1974]], and as the city continues to grow, so does Brampton Transit. In [[May 2005]], a major upgrade occurred which put more routes into a grid pattern.

Line 7:

[[Steeles Avenue]], once the boundary between the former Toronto and Chingacousy Townships, is now a major Brampton thoroughfare. The Route 11 now runs west of Shoppers World at [[Hurontario Street]], and eastward into [[Toronto]] to [[Humber College]]'s Main Campus. There is a transfer at the College with Route 50, that serves new developments in the Gore Road area near the former [[Ontario provincial highway 50|Highway 50]], or [[Albion Road]].

In addition, BT's route 7777X (which is jointly operated with [[York Region Transit]]) runs along most of the former [[Ontario provincial highway 7|Highway 7]] from Bramalea, and presently terminates in the east at the [[Finch (TTC)|Finch]] [[Toronto Subway and RT|subway station]]; there it connects with the [[Toronto Transit Commission|TTC]], [[York Region Transit]], and [[GO Transit]]'s bus service. This will likely see some alterations when the [[York Region Transit]]'s '''[[Vivayork|Viva]]''' [[bus rapid transit]] service evolves during the autumn of 2005.

Brampton Transit has also been a key carrier of commuters to and from the [[Georgetown (GO Transit)|Georgetown Line]]. There are transfers to and from the trains and buses at the [[Bramalea (GO Station)|Bramalea]], [[Brampton (GO Station)|Brampton]], and the new (opened February [[2005]]) [[Mount Pleasant (GO Station)|Mount Pleasant]] Stations, as well as direct connections to express buses at [[Bramalea City Centre]] and Trinity Common, and adjacent stop at Shoppers World.
