Connections
Brampton Transit is connected with Mississauga Transit to the south, and routes along main corridors serve features in both cities, such as Sheridan College (Brampton Campus), and industrial, commercial, and retail centres. It also connects to York Region Transit to the east via the Queen Street-Highway 7 corridor and Toronto Transit Commission to the southeast.
Steeles Avenue, once the boundary between the former Toronto and Chingacousy Townships, is now a major Brampton thoroughfare. The Route 11 now runs west of Brampton Gateway at Hurontario Street, and eastward into Toronto to Humber College's Main Campus. There is a transfer at the College with Route 50, that serves new developments in the Gore Road area near the former Highway 50, or Albion Road. In September 2007, the Section West of Brampton Gateway became route 51, and accesses Mississauga Transit at Mississauga Road and Meadowvale Blvd.
Brampton Transit has also been a key carrier of commuters to and from the Georgetown line railway station operated by GO Transit. There are transfers to and from the trains and buses at the Bramalea, Brampton, and Mount Pleasant (opened February 2005) stations, and direct connections to express buses at Bramalea City Centre and Trinity Common, and adjacent stop at Brampton Gateway.

Famous quotes containing the word connections:
“I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
...
I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
“A foreign minister, I will maintain it, can never be a good man of business if he is not an agreeable man of pleasure too. Half his business is done by the help of his pleasures: his views are carried on, and perhaps best, and most unsuspectedly, at balls, suppers, assemblies, and parties of pleasure; by intrigues with women, and connections insensibly formed with men, at those unguarded hours of amusement.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
