Red = a bus route which has service every 10 minutes or less.
Blue = a bus route which has service every 15 minutes or less.
Mississauga may be missing a route or two, as I have to go through all their routings yet, as they have the most confusing route structure.
But overall it shows who the leader is, and that is Brampton.
Oakville did not make the cut, as their rush hour service is every 20 minutes.

Comments:
- The Toronto-Mississauga border east of the Etobicoke Creek runs along Eglinton Avenue, not the 401!
- 401 Simcoe runs every 15 minutes for the entirety of the route, and 7.5 minutes between UOIT and Downtown Oshawa
- Can you recheck GO's 46/47 overlaps?
- GO Train service would also be a nice addition.
Brampton:
- Main Street between 407 and Sandalwood should be red.
- 53/54 is basically one route. Combined frequency is 10 minutes.
- 32/33 is also basically route too. Combined frequency is 15 minutes.
PLUS!!!
You're missing LOTS within Mississauga, such as:
Colour changes:
- Bloor should be red (5.5 to 9 minute service)
Independent routes:
- 11/11A/11B Westwood: 11 minutes
- 22 Finch: 13 minutes
- 36 Colonial: 13 minutes
- 51/51A Tomken: 12 minutes
- 61/61A Mavis: 13 minutes
- 66 McLaughlin: 13 minutes
- 110 University: 7.5 minutes
Route Branches:
- 19A Hurontario runs every 15 minutes
- 19B Hurontario runs every 15 minutes too
Two-to-three-route overlaps:
- 109 Meadowvale Express and 45/45A Winston Churchill north of Erin Centre Drive (since 45/45A runs every 16 minutes, any route that overlaps with it will qualify to your definition)
- Oakville Transit route 24 South Common and 45/45A Winston Churchill between Burnhamthorpe and Upper Middle Road (since 45/45A runs every 16 minutes, any route that overlaps with it will qualify to your definition)
- 15 Drew and 42 Derry between Dixie Road and Hurontario Street (since 42 runs every 16 minutes, any route that overlaps with it will qualify to your definition)
- 42 Derry and 82 Financial through the entire Financial District of Mississauga (since 42 runs every 16 minutes, any route that overlaps with it will qualify to your definition)
- TTC route 58B Malton and 7 Airport between Westwood Mall and Carlingview Drive (Service for TTC routes 58, 58B, 58C and 58D are controlled by Mississauga Transit. So basically, all 58's branches, other than 58A, are MiWay routes but using TTC vehicles.)
- 7 Airport and 107 Malton Exp between Dixon and Carlingview and Skymark and Commerce
- 89 Meadowvale and 38 Creditview between Britannia and Eglinton
