Brampton Transit also operates three other routes short distances into suburban areas bordering Brampton within the town: Route 81 Mayfield West serves Kennedy Road in Mayfield West, and Routes 18 Dixie and 30 Airport Road provide limited service into industrial areas.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www1.brampton.ca/EN/residents/transit/plan-your-trip/Pages/Schedules-and-Maps.aspx |title=Schedules and Maps: ''Routes Operating'' |publisher=City of Brampton |access-date=February 11, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Rumbolt |first=Ryan |date=2024-05-01 |title=New transit route connects Brampton workers with out-of-town employers {{!}} inBrampton |url=https://www.insauga.com/new-transit-route-connects-brampton-workers-with-out-of-town-employers/ |access-date=2024-05-14 |website=insauga {{!}} Local Online News |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Paratransit]] services for the elderly, disabled, and infirm are provided by Caledon Community Services Transportation and Transhelp. Both are run by the [[Region of Peel Accessible Transportation Services]]. ====History==== There were two earlier privately-operated transit services running solely within Bolton with no connections to other services: In 1999 a company named Caledon Transit Incorporated ran a trial bus service in the community.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~wyatt/alltime/a2b-on.html|title=Transit History of Ontario Communities (A-B)|website=Home.cc.umanitoba.ca|access-date=7 November 2017}}</ref> In 2006, the growing population of Bolton prompted local resident Darren Parberry to start a second bus service with two routes using leased school buses, called Métis Transit. One route ran briefly in 2006.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://transit.toronto.on.ca/archives/data/200601070815.shtml |title=Wanted: Passengers for Bus Line ''(Original from transittoronto.ca)''|access-date=2010-01-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100217193457/http://transit.toronto.on.ca/archives/data/200601070815.shtml |archive-date=2010-02-17 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Both services ceased operations due to low ridership. Between 2019 and 2024, there was a third service, operated by a private contractor, [[Voyago]], which provided [[minibus]] service in Bolton and traveled south down Highway 50 to Queen Street/Highway 7 to connect with Brampton Transit and YRT until it was replaced by the current Brampton Transit Route 41 on May 1, 2024. Adult cash fares were $4.00 and there were no free transfers with these systems.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Bolton_Line |title=CPTDB Wiki: ''Bolton Line'' |access-date=May 11, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bramptonguardian.com/news/brampton-transit-makes-several-route-changes-including-new-route-to-bolton/article_ed3ebde4-8d06-5309-9460-56b79b06fab6.html |title=Brampton Transit makes several route changes, including new route to Bolton |date=April 30, 2024 |access-date=May 11, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://cptdb.ca/wiki/images/5/59/Bolton_Line_1833-a.jpg |title=CPTDB Wiki: ''Photo of "Bolton Line" minibus'' |access-date=May 11, 2024}}</ref>
