A Brampton Transit driver tested positive for COVID-19 this week, affecting four bus routes across the City of Brampton.

The city revealed that the driver was associated with four routes during the 14-day period prior to March 23, and is now off work in isolation.

The routes affected include the 11, 51, 53, and the 57. All routes run along Steeles Avenue in and out of Brampton Gateway Terminal. The driver was working March 10-13.
