Here is a more detailed transit list provided by Sylvia (from AMO)

The City's AMO report shows they wish to reduce the life span of articulated buses from 18 years to 12 years starting in 2024. The AMO report also showed they intend to spend $12 million for bringing Big Data to Brampton Transit.

Then the buildings wouldn't get built, because they would not pencil out. Floor plate rules need to be addressed, in addition to minimum elevator ratios.

You can thank Brampton's floor plate restrictions. The floor plate restrictions result in developers under building the number of elevators needed, in order to get enough usable floor space to make the building penciled out.

It will be interesting to see whether the third MSF being increasingly unlikely to open until 2027, results in 24/7 service being accelerated in order to have space for all the buses. I wonder if Sylvia badgering them into evaluating a ground source heat pump is a cause of the delays.

Brampton Transit is internally working on the assumption that the 502 Züm buses freed up by the LRT opening will not be open until at least later in 2025, as those are needed to launch the 504 Chinguacousy Züm. Now, this could mean the launch of the Hurontario LRT is significantly delayed, or...

Brampton Transit has recently increased their training class size from 12 to 20 to try to train operators fast enough. They are currently working on decreasing mandatory overtime which is costing them a pretty penny, that's where a number of the new operators are going. Expect frequent schedule...

Bramalea City Centre redevelopment better include a sizeable amount of office space with it to turn it into a new CBD.

This development is so comically tall that even More Neighbours Toronto people find it excessively tall, it should be more like 40 storeys to keep it in line with the Bramalea City Centre redevelopment

The brown transit girl has been lobbying intensively for the Kennedy Züm line to be built urgently. According to Brampton Transit for the Kennedy Züm line they are waiting on the Transportation Master Plan to be complete, which was started 15 months ago, is expected done in a year, and there is...

The developer has proposed one parking spot per unit, because that is what the government has legislated for the parking requirement for that area. The downtown-Queen Corridor, and Highway 10 & Steeles projects propose so much less parking because the municipal government doesn't set a minimum...

Queen, Steeles, and Bovaird in Brampton are each in the future going to get BRTs on them using lane conversion. This is an effective way to launder roads development charges for transit.

For Brampton Transit the issue is that BT's PM peak service ends at 7 pm and transitions to evening service, which is not very good, and that chart measure schedules until 8 pm.

There are a sufficiently large number of those people in transit planning and advocacy for that to be funny. Line 10 would make more, as a reference to Highway 10, and it makes sense if the line ever gets extended north. That will not be the hospital location, Brampton City Council has to date...

I may be mistaken, but I remember the Airport bus service into Caledon predating Caledon contracting with Brampton, I believe the Airport bus may actually be contracted by employers. There is unlikely to be a proper terminal at Gore Meadows Community Centre, the City recently voted to fund...

Brampton over the past 15 years has had excellent ridership growth, this term of council however has been consistently horrendous on improving transit. Even before the pandemic they cut back on increasing service hours, planning only 20k service hours for 2020, despite needing at minimum 50k...

No, I'm saying the only way it can proceed is via MZO, and it could not proceed through the standard zoning process. Bonusing is a thing explicitly banned in the Municipal Act to prevent cities throwing money at companies to attract them, which leads to destructive arms races of funding...

The Dixie Site cannot lawfully proceed without an MZO, it is in a Provincially Significant Employment Zone which cannot be converted to residential unless it is in a delineated MTSA area, and this site is not currently in a delineated MTSA, nor is there any intention for it to ever be in a...

Brown has a habit of saying things with a rather tenuous connection to the truth The Boulevard idea is a profligate waste of money based on progressive delusions. The most basic sanity check shows it to be madness. They wax about how the Boulevard will connect the community, the reality is it...

Context is missing on the paying industries, it has been looking like Orangeville desired to kill the railway for years, and the uncertainty made it near impossible to attract new industries. If Peel bought it and guaranteed industrial train access for two trains a day, that would have been...
