GO Transit

GO Transit is a combination of train and bus lines that get people where they need to go around the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. There are three GO Stations in Brampton – the Brampton GO Station located at 27 Church Street West in downtown Brampton, the Bramalea GO Station near the Bramalea community at 1713 Steeles Avenue East, and the Mount Pleasant GO at 1600 Bovaird Drive West near the New Urbanist community. Bramalea GO is the nearest station to The Reserve at Country Trails – take the Brampton Transit 30 to the 511. GO Transit is your best option for traveling outside of Brampton and within the GTA.

GO Train

The GO Train system from Brampton is the ideal transportation option for commuters who work in Toronto as the Kitchener line goes straight to Union station with no transfers or traffic. In the opposite direction, you can get to cities like Georgetown, Guelph, and Kitchener. All three GO Stations in Brampton are connected to this line, and it runs hourly seven days a week. You can find schedules here (https://www.gotransit.com/en/trip-planning/seeschedules).

The GO Bus gives you more options for transit and can get you to more locations within the GTA. The 30 can get you to Mississauga and Kitchener, the 47 can get you to Hamilton, and the 36B can get you to North York without any stops.

It connects to Highway 401 and 403, taking Brampton residents anywhere within the GTA and beyond to Hamilton and Niagara. This freeway turns into Highway 10 once it hits Caledon, continuing north as a four-lane undivided highway that will get commuters up to Orangeville and further.

Highway 407
