York Region Transit 1601-1614

York Region Transit 1601-1614 are Nova Bus LFS buses built and delivered in 2016. They were purchased through the Metrolinx Transit Procurement Initiative.

These are first 40ft order to North division since 2007, as well as first Nova Bus assigned to North division. Like the 2015 order, all buses were initially delivered to Southwest garage, with some vehicles being reassigned to Southeast (Miller) or North (TOK Transit) prior to entering service.

The difference between the previous batch is that a rear exterior camera has been added and Volvo's Its4mobility system has been installed.
