Customer Service counters at terminals remain closed. Terminal building hours at Bramalea, Brampton Gateway and Downtown Terminals are open from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm. 

An enhanced cleaning and sanitizing schedule remains in effect and it is Brampton Transit’s goal to disinfect all hard surfaces, operator compartments and seats every 48 hours.

The majority of buses are currently sanitized every 24 hours.

Facilities and terminals that have hard surfaces are wiped down and sanitized on a daily basis.

Brampton Transit riders are strongly recommended to wear non-medical masks on buses and at terminals at this time, as per Peel Public Health and the Government of Ontario.

It will be mandatory for Brampton Transit riders and operators to wear non-medical masks beginning on July 2, when fare payment and front boarding will begin again. 

The City continues to urge riders to practice physical distancing at terminals and bus stops, even while wearing a mask.

Riders are also reminded to carry their own personal disinfectant such as hand sanitizer or wipes, wash their hands often and cough or sneeze into their elbow.

The City of Brampton is working closely with Peel Public Health and the Brampton Emergency Management Office to continue to monitor risks during COVID-19.
