Züm
Züm (pronounced Zoom, IPA: /zuːm/) is a bus rapid transit system for the suburban city of Brampton, Ontario, Canada, northwest of Toronto owned and operated by Brampton Transit. There are connections to the City of Mississauga, York Region, and the City of Toronto, with the first corridor having started service in fall 2010.

During the planning of this bus rapid transit system, Züm was called Acceleride. History Phase 1 plan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
