Argo Transit - The New Ride in Town 

It's a Game Changer

 

Argo Transit is an On demand Electric Transit bus the connects to the existing Brampton Transit network. At the moment it only runs in the Downtown area.:

  • Vodden North - Steeles Ave South (including Sheridan College)
  • McLaughlin Rd West - Rutherford East

It operates on your mobile using the Argo App.

The app is available on IOS Apple Store and Google Play Store..

Once uploaded, register an account and then you can start ordering rides, and it is really simple to do. If you have ordered Uber rides It's very similar. 

  • It will ask you where you want to be picked up from (eg; 88 Rosedale Ave W) 
  • Where you want to be dropped off (eg; Peel Memorial hospital 20 Lynch St.)
  • When you want to be picked up. In 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour to 4 hours.
  • 2 minutes before your ride information arrives on your mobile, Argo send your ride information and a code for the scanner on the bus.
  • When you receive the information it will tell you the exact time your ride will be at your location to pick you up. You can also track your ride.

When Your ride Arrives and Boarding the bus.

  • Scan the code that was sent to you ( if that doesn't work use the last 3 numbers of your phone number)
  • Scan your Presto Card and you good to go. 
  • Take a seat and enjoy a quiet ride to your location.

There might be other riders because it is a bus, however, you will be dropped off at your location within 15 minutes.

Service Hours

  • Monday - Friday 5:30 am - 9:30 pm
  • No service on Weekends (Sat.& Sun.) & Stat Holidays 

Cost

  • Samebas using a Brampton Transit ride using aPresto Card 
  • Transfers are available from the driver.

Connect with Argo

I hope this information was helpful and for me it's a Game Changer and another option.  Give it a try and if this becomes popular they may expand the service area and may provide weekend service.

Brampton Cup rematch.

A funny thing happened on the final day of the 2026 Brampton Cup, in the Gold 🥇 Medal matches. A rematch of the most entertaining and thrilling boxing match of 2025. Elijah Aspilla representing Knockout Brampton Boxing 🥊 in the Red corner. And Victor Cheung representing the Pan Am Boxing in the blue 🔵 corner. The results were the same, Elijah captured the 🪙 Gold Medal in a very entertaining match that could have gone either way. A terrific 👍💯 bout.

Blog - Broomball, Fun Just like Hockey

 

 

 

What in tarnation is...Broomball, when I am galavanting around Brampton to cover events, on some occasions I will poses question about the game of broomball. Would you believe, no one and I mean no one knows what Broomball lor even  heard of it. Broomball would you believe is very similar to our Canadian passion of hockey. Broomball is played throughout Canada and parts of the United States.

I used to play it at the school I went to in Chateauguay Quebec, as part of gym class and lunchtime intermural League. Primarily, we played outdoors or indoors if the weather was horrendously atrocious. Lots of fun.

It has   governing body and would you believe, even international tournaments of which Team Canada participates.

Like hockey, it has sic players a side, and same positions. It is primarily played on an ice surface on hockey rinks. Instead of skates you wear broomball shoes or boots. instead of hockey sticks, it is replaced with a broom, and instead of a puck, you have a rubber ball. Lots of fun. I remember playing broomball in my old elementary  schoo Mary Gardner in Chateauguay Que, at lucnh time and in gym class. I am sure given as opportunity, broomball could catch on here in the Golden Horseshoe
