An enhanced cleaning and sanitizing schedule remains in effect. It is Brampton Transit’s goal to disinfect all hard surfaces, operator compartments and seats every 48 hours. The majority of buses are sanitized every 24 hours. Facilities and terminals that have hard surfaces are wiped down and sanitized on a daily basis.
The City urges riders to continue to maintain physical distancing at terminals, and at bus stops, even while wearing a mask, as much as possible. Riders are also reminded to carry their own personal disinfectant when travelling, such as hand sanitizer or wipes, wash their hands often, and cough or sneeze into their elbow. If sick, please refrain from riding transit, get tested at the nearest COVID-19 assessment site and follow public health instructions.
With guidance from Peel Public Health, riders are reminded that tight-fitting non-medical masks covering your nose, mouth and chin are mandatory on buses and terminals. The City of Brampton is working closely with its partners at Peel Public Health and the Brampton Emergency Management Office to continue to monitor risks.

Peel Public Health Reminders for Easter Weekend
Take care of each other over the Easter holiday by only gathering with those you live with. Though the vaccine roll-out continues, we must not let our guard down and continue following public health advice. These actions remain our best defense against the virus. For family and friends who live outside your home, take photos and arrange virtual calls to stay connected and maintain physical distance. Ask your place of worship for virtual gathering options to reduce the risk of spread. If you must gather in-person, please follow gathering limits for religious services.
