Yeah looks can be deceiving. Steeles East of Shopper's World has buses coming every 5 minutes or something like that. Queen (pictured above) has regular and express buses each coming around every 10 minutes. Probably not exactly what I would call typical bus service in major North American suburbs. But maybe it's really true that places like Arlington, TX or Mesa, AZ do have transit routes with 5 minute frequencies - I don't know, never been to those places. Let's not prejudge such places as having worse transit than Brampton, just because they are located in the US.

In any case, in 2016, I think that's when Mississauga and Brampton will have their LRT built (projected to be one of the busiest LRT systems in North America), then maybe Brampton and Mississauga can be the "model" suburbs, at least transit-wise.
