BRT for Bovaird seems excessive. What are the busiest corridors right now? Queen, Steeles, Main, Kennedy, Dixie, McMurchy... Bovaird isn't even top 5. You don't need BRT or LRT everywhere. That was the fact lost upon the people who came up with VIVA and Transit City, and Zum is the same. "Rapid transit" along Mississauga Rd? Don't make me laugh. And I can't help but notice they are not planning at all to make use of 407 Transitway (a real BRT corridor).
Like I said earlier, even though I would benefit personally from a 505, it is not intuitive to me that it should be "next". I would have thought the 4th line would/should have been a second north south route....I thought Airport Road others suggested Dixie or Bramalea Road.
I think what Bovaird has going for it is that it has a GO Train station on it. The common feature of every Zum line to date is that it connects/interconnects with the major GO hubs in Brampton.
EDIT: Aside form the link to the GO station (which, from the outside looking in, seems to be a big driver in the Zum) is that the only hospital in town is on Bovaird and there is a sort of mini-BT terminal at Trinity Common.....while Bovaird would not, intuitively, be the next place I would think of for a Zum line it does make a bit of sense on further reflection.
