Argo and City of Brampton Announce $10.9 Million Smart Transit Partnership
TORONTO, April 30, 2025 /CNW/ - Argo Corporation (TSXV: ARGH) (OTCQX: ARGHF), leader in next-generation transit solutions, today signed and announced a $10.9 million 12-month pilot with the City of Brampton to deploy its fully electric Smart Routing™ transit system. Launching this summer, Brampton residents will be able to request on-demand rides near their door – all for a standard fare – with seamless transfers into Brampton Transit and GO Transit networks. "Brampton is a city that thrives on innovation," said Mayor Patrick Brown. "This pilot with Argo represents our commitment to implementing outcomes that better serve our community. By adopting Argo's comprehensive system as a complement to our existing transit network, we're bringing Brampton to the forefront of transit innovation while creating more efficient and accessible transportation options and 'last mile' solutions for our residents." Transforming How Cities Move Argo's Smart Routing™ platform expands and strengthens Brampton Transit's robust existing network – making it easier to use, more accessible for residents further from transit stops, and a true alternative to private cars. The Brampton pilot builds on Argo's successful launch in Bradford West Gwillimbury, expanding its technology and electric fleet into one of Canada's fastest-growing cities. Smart Routing™: Riders request trips through a simple app or phone call; stops are dynamically added based on real-time demand. Argo X1 Vehicle: Accessible electric vehicles by Karsan, featuring Argo's proprietary Smart Routing™ hardware integration. Transit Integration: Seamless connections into Brampton Transit and GO Transit, with full integration into existing fare systems. "Brampton is home not only to a thriving Innovation District, but also to one of the fastest-growing and most robust public transit networks in the country," said Praveen Arichandran, CEO and co-founder of Argo. "We're proud to partner with Brampton on a global stage to develop advanced mobility systems, strengthen existing public transit infrastructure, and create a more connected, accessible, and prosperous future." Built for Cities. Designed for People. The pilot aims to enhance mobility, accessibility, and sustainability in Brampton while supporting local job creation and showcasing Canadian innovation. Unlocking Opportunity: Easier access to jobs, education, healthcare, and community life — especially for residents who live farther from fixed routes or lack access to a car. Wider Access: Improved mobility for seniors, people with disabilities, and underserved neighborhoods — helping more people participate fully in daily life. Cleaner Communities: A fully electric fleet reduces emissions, improves air quality, and supports climate goals. Job Creation: The partnership brings world-class talent and jobs to Brampton's Innovation District while driving increased usage into existing transit infrastructure.
