So no connection to mount pleasant GO?
No. Already, Route 104 (the pre-Zum express route) terminates at Chinguacousy and Sandalwood. Long term, it might go all the way to Mayfield.

Ridership data is updated to December 2023.
40,907,484 rides in 2023, 30.3% growth over 2022, and 27.8% growth over 2019.
BT remains undefeated for its absurdly fast ridership growth.How does this increase compare to other GTHA agencies? I know Brampton Transit's decline in ridership during COVID was the lowest.
Most other 905 Agencies are still trying to catch back up to 2019 ridership numbers. IIRC Hamilton is still at 90% or so of 2019.How does this increase compare to other GTHA agencies? I know Brampton Transit's decline in ridership during COVID was the lowest.

I wonder if restrictions on international students will deflate some of the ridership growth in Peel Region.
Important to remember that no existing students are being booted out, if they otherwise had permission to be here, but the number of new incoming is being cut.
The full impact will take at least 18 months to be felt (Sept '25)
I appreciate it and I realize I should have been more clear about what I was looking for. I was looking for the RFP documents that show the technical layout of each stop. I remember it used to be a 50ish or more page document with mockups and drawings.
I read somewhere that the intention was to discontinue the 104 once the 504 launches, but I need to figure out where I read that from so don't quote me on it. I'm going to try and find the source again.No. Already, Route 104 (the pre-Zum express route) terminates at Chinguacousy and Sandalwood. Long term, it might go all the way to Mayfield.
Brampton Transit is indeed had the highest growth; 40.9 million riders in 2023 versus 31.9 million in 2019, a 28% increase (which is very good even without COVID).How does this increase compare to other GTHA agencies? I know Brampton Transit's decline in ridership during COVID was the lowest.
The TTC is at 394 million, (by my understanding) riders compared to 526 million pre-COVID, a 74% recovery rate.
A significant portion of MiWay ridership is people coming from Brampton. There is a reason the MiWay routes running to Sheridan get packed, and also why Derry has such robust ridership.I think Mississauga just got back to 100% or above now, for many of the same reasons that Brampton’s ridership is rocketing. Lots of industrial and logistics employment, a younger population, as well as a lot of ridership either connecting to BT or headed to Sheridan College.

While this is likely to curb Brampton's absurd growth rate, we are unlikely to experience 20%+ ridership growth in a year ever again, I would be surprised if Brampton Transit went below an average of 10% a year. The thing to understand is that even with in migration being cut, Brampton is still likely to experience 15k+ annually from abroad, which adds ridership to Brampton.*Important to remember that no existing students are being booted out, if they otherwise had permission to be here, but the number of new incoming is being cut.

It has been significant, but ridership growth in Brampton will remain robust compared to other citiesOh, I know. I just wonder how much it has contributed to ridership growth in the last few years.
