Brampton Transit/Zum

The only one in the fleet! With how some routes are, I would have thought they’d get more.
Have heard that this single bus goes around the entire city serving multiple routes. There has been talk about it being on the 1, 4/4A, 7, 511, and the 29. In fact it is on the latter as I type this.

It was a used bus. More artics are coming, but as far as I know, they are all going to be dedicated to Zum service.
I’m hoping that they could bring more of these artics to the 505 as it desperately needs them more than any other route in the city besides the Chinguacousy or Kennedy corridors.
 
Spotted at mount pleasant 👀
It's still so weird to see non-zum artics, even if this is the only non-zum bus in the fleet. That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing more for routes that sorely need it. They have the right idea with the Zum buses going to different routes since covid hit anyway.
 
Growing up in Oakville in the 90s, I always knew I was in Mississauga when I saw the "accordion" buses driving around. Shame Miway seems to have gotten rid of them all.
 
There are articulated buses in the Mississauga fleet. They’re often assigned to the 109, 110, 26, 61 and 66.
Yeah, sure enough, as I was driving home from work today on the 403, I saw one go over the Mavis St. bridge. I instantly thought of the earlier post I made. It felt like I hadn't seen articulated buses in Mississauga for a long time.
 
Quite a few frequency improvements starting June 24, so it looks like staffing is finally catching up. 501 on Sunday finally going from 30 to 20 minutes (though should be 15, as it was in 2010.)

501C will be permanently discontinued, however.

It's nice to see Brampton transit increasing service on many routes giving the record setting ridership. With the one fare program, I believe the 501C is not needed anymore.

Glad to see they've increased service times on the 4/4A/104. 0839 has been doing a lot of the heavy lifting along with the other Zum artics. The 504 couldn't come any sooner.

Long time since seeing one of these in BT fleet new
