Mississauga Transitway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mississauga Transitway is a proposed bus rapid transit route (BRT) in Mississauga, Ontario.
The route would run along Highway 403 (Ontario) and Eglinton Avenue in Mississauga and operated by Mississauga Transit.
A trial BRT route was operated on Hurontario Street in 2005, know as Smart Bus.
First proposed in 1970 by the then Town of Mississauga, but it has yet to be built. The 16 km, 16 station route would travel from Ninth Line (Ridgeway) in the west along Highway 403 to Cawthra. From Cawthra the bus route would travel along East Gate Parkway to Eglinton Avenue West into Toronto and end at Eglinton West Subway station.
[edit] Stations
The BRT stations would consist of platforms, pedestrian walkways, Kiss & Ride areas and Park & Ride lots.
[edit] Buses
The transitway would use a mix of standard and articulated buses travelling at 80 km/h.
