Zum is not BRT, or that BRT-lite nonsense. It's just a limited stop service.
The 501 is certainly more than just a limited stop service. It has dedicated queue jump lanes and buses can and do, hold green lights at many intersections. The 501A uses a long stretch of the usually free-flowing 407.
Both services have large, heated shelters, next bus displays, more comfortable buses meant for longer rides, and new terminals with bus priority entry and exit (once the new Shoppers World terminal is open).
Viva is BRT-lite too. Yes, it has all-door boarding, but does not have queue-jumps and has a horrible central terminal.
The TTC 190, 191 or 199, MT 101, 103, etc, BT 115, YRT Markham expresses are simple express buses.
