Brampton Transit was honoured with the first service excellence award last week at the Canadian Urban Transit Association annual conference in Toronto last week.

Urban planners and transit professionals from across the country gather each year at the conference, which was hosted in Toronto in 2018. The organization hands out annual awards in categories including innovation and environmental excellence.

“The service excellence award was specifically created this year to recognize the unique success and unprecedented ridership growth on Brampton Transit’s Zum Bus Rapid Transit service (BRT),” wrote the city in a release on Nov. 21.

“The success of the BRT service, and across all of Brampton Transit’s lines, is unmatched in Canada,” it added.
