2014 Service Plan boards are up
here
Proposed Changes
Route 23 Sandalwood would be extended west to Veterans Drive past Creditview and go down Veteran Drive into the Mt. Pleasant town centre area.
NEW Route 26 would be a local circulator of the areas west of Creditview Road along Mississauga Road connecting to Mt. Pleasant GO.
Even more realignment of the mess that is the
4/A Chingacousy, also moving to 15 minute midday frequency, as well midday service to the 4A branch.
52 McMurchy proposed during only peak service to divert off Ray Lawson Blvd to Cherry Tree Drive.
21 Heart Lake to change from a one-way loop (that reverses direction based on time), to a two-way route connecting Heart Lake Terminal to Trinity Common Terminal via. Conestoga Dr, Rutherford St. North, Southlake Blvd, and Bovaird Drive.
31 McVean: extended via Skyvalley Drive to Panahill Drive.
Bramalea Corridor Review
So three options to serve this corridor
1. Extend
15A Bramalea to the Countryside Drive (now ends at Hospital) and eliminate the
15A's hospital loop, extend
115 Airport Express to the hospital, and extend the 15 straight to the Bramalea/Inspire area.
- 115 would only go between the hospital and the airport during peak service, would travel from Bramalea Terminal all other times
2. Realign
15/A off of the Father Tobin/Fernforest Loop and go straight to the Walmart at Bramalea/Inspire. Also extend the
92 Bramalea GO to service the Father Tobin/Fernforest Loop.
- 92 would continue being a peak period route
3. Realign the
15 to go straight up Bramalea to Bramalea/Inspire without other extensions.
Airport Road Corridor Review
1. New
30A Airport branch, to go between Sandalwood/Airport loop and Westwood Mall during peak periods.
29 A Williams extension to Goreway and Steeles via. Goreway.
2. New
30A Airport branch, to go between Sandalwood/Airport loop and Westwood Mall during peak periods.
5A Bovaird eliminated.
Zum 505 Bovaird
Serious disappointment. Will run 15 minutes during rush hour, 20 minutes midday service on weekdays. No weekday evening or night service. 20 minute frequencies during Saturday and Sunday day times. Combined
5/5A Bovaird service will be dropped to 15 minute combined frequency, no change in other frequencies.

Pleasant GO, Worthington Avenue, Chingacousy Road, McLaughlin Road, Hurontario Street, Kennedy Road, Southlake Boulevard, Trinity Common Terminal, Dixie Road, Bramalea Road, Brampton Civic Hospital (on Bovaird stop), Torbram Road, Airport Road, and Queen/Goreway.
