  Station Information - GO Transit
GO Transit is Canada 's first, and Ontario 's only, interregional public transit system, established to link Toronto with the surrounding regions of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
GO Trains and GO Buses serve a population of five million in an 8,000-square-kilometre area (3,000 square miles) radiating from downtown Toronto to Hamilton and Guelph in the west; Orangeville, Barrie, and Beaverton to the north; and Port Perry, Oshawa, and Newcastle in the east.
GO Transit (GO being an acronym for Government of Ontario) was created and funded by the provincial government and was financed entirely by the Province of Ontario until the end of 1997.

 Mount Pleasant (GO Transit)
Mount Pleasant GO Station is a GO Transit train station that is currently under construction along the Georgetown rail corridor located at Bovaird Drive and Creditview Road at Mount Pleasant, a growing Brampton community.

Mount Pleasant Station, like every new station on the GO Train network will feature accessible train service for those who are dependent on wheeled mobility aids with a mini-platform.

Mount Pleasant GO Station is an under-construction GO Transit railway station on the Georgetown line.

When its elevators have been installed, Mount Pleasant will, like all new GO stations, be wheelchair-accessible with a mini-platform.

 Transit Toronto - Content: A History of the 74 Mount Pleasant Trolley Bus
The history of Mount Pleasant's trolley buses begins on June 19, 1922, when wires were strung along Merton Street west from Yonge and north on Mount Pleasant to Eglinton Avenue and Toronto's first trolley buses replaced Toronto's second bus route.
It was committed to maintain streetcar service on Mount Pleasant Avenue, but its decision was effectively vetoed by the Metro Roads Department when the time came to replace bridges along Mount Pleasant Avenue.
The TTC considered amalgamating the 74 Mount Pleasant and the 103 Mount Pleasant North bus services into a single route operating from Davisville Station via Yonge and Merton Street, but decided against the move when residents south of Merton complained about the loss of service.
