Brampton Transit 1050-1074
Brampton Transit 1050-1074 are New Flyer XDE40 buses built in 2010. They are the first production buses of the Xcelsior model. As-delivered, these units were exclusively assigned to Brampton's new Züm BRT service and painted in full Züm livery, but some units have since been repainted and converted to regular Brampton Transit service.

History
Order/Delivery
This order was part of a three-year contract for up to 60 buses to equip the upcoming AcceleRide (later rebranded as Züm) BRT service; the contract contained options for both 40 foot and 60 foot buses. Two manufacturers submitted bids, with New Flyer being awarded the contract in late November 2008. The 25 buses for the first year were scheduled to be delivered in May 2010.
The first unit, 1050, was delivered to Brampton in April 2010. It made its official debut at the 2010 Ontario Transportation Expo with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The following day, it was unveiled to the general public in front of City Hall. Deliveries of the remaining units took place between April and early August 2010. All units entered service in mid-September with commencement of the new 501 Züm Queen route.
Specifications
All buses were delivered in the Züm livery, which consists of a silver base with red front arching to and along the roofline. There is a large Züm logo taking up the space between the rear door and front wheel on the open side, and the same logo in the same location on the closed side.
The interior is configured for 38 passengers or 29 passengers with two wheelchairs. A wheelchair ramp is located at the front door. The passenger seats are 4ONE Mariella models in light grey and are trimmed in Holdsworth BAM312 "Zebra Squares" moquette with custom Züm logo. Side walls under the window are trimmed in a light blue-green carpet material. The rear doors are passenger operated with Vapor's CLASS system, and windows are tinted and of the tip-in transom design.
Refurbishment
Beginning in 2024, this series underwent a mid-life refurbishment. As part of the refurbishment, ten units (expected to be 1050-1059) will be repainted into the standard Brampton Transit livery, as there are currently more 40 foot Züm units than necessary for future fleet requirements.
Deployment
In Züm service, these buses are typically assigned to routes 505 Züm Bovaird and 561 Züm Queen West. They may also be seen on conventional routes, or rarely substituting for articulated buses on other Züm routes.
Units refurbished and converted for regular transit use can be found on Brampton Transit routes operating out of their respective garage.
