Cardinal Coach Lines 1730-1731, 1735-1744, and 1752-1761 were 2000 model BlueBird CV200 buses. These units were purchased brand new from Briggs Bus Sales and were delivered to the Calgary branch.

Some notable features on these units included interior overhead luggage racks (1730-1731; 1752-1761) and an internal speaker/PA system. At least two units; 1731 and 1743; were delivered with a white body and black rubrails. While 1743 is believed to have retained these colors for its entire service life, 1731 would be repainted into school bus yellow sometime between 2005-2007. Despite this, the unit retained a white roof until its retirement.
