Burlington and Brantford now have something else in common.

Besides both having direct historical connections to Mohawk Chief Joseph Brant, they now share a modern transportation connection.

The Ontario government is expanding GO Transit bus service to Brantford to connect the city to the GO Transit network.

Beginning in September, Metrolinx will introduce GO bus service between downtown Brantford and the Aldershot GO Station in Burlington, stopping at McMaster University along the way.
