Bus Rapid Transit
Züm is Brampton's new bus rapid transit system. Its first corridor was launched on September 20, 2010, and runs along Queen Street from Downtown Brampton to York University. Future corridors are planned along Main/Hurontario and Steeles Avenues. Züm received funding from the provincial government in 2006 to begin implementation of this system and an additional federal-municipal contribution agreement was signed in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words bus, rapid and/or transit:
“I’d take the bus downtown with my mother, and the big thing was to sit at the counter and get an orange drink and a tuna sandwich on toast. I thought I was living large!... When I was at the Ritz with the publisher a few months ago, I did think, “Oh my God, I’m in the Ritz tearoom.” ... The person who was so happy to sit at the Woolworths counter is now sitting at the Ritz, listening to the harp, and wondering what tea to order.... [ellipsis in source] Am I awake?”
—Connie Porter (b. 1959)
“The idealism of Berkeley is only a crude statement of the idealism of Jesus, and that again is a crude statement of the fact that all nature is the rapid efflux of goodness executing and organizing itself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
