Durham Region Transit 8161-8163, 8165-8168
Durham Region Transit 8161-8163, 8165-8168 were Nova Bus LFS buses built in 2004 and acquired by DRT in 2006. They were originally delivered new to Oshawa Transit Commission (OTC) as 161-163, 165-168. 164 was omitted as the number 64 was a radio code number.
The buses have seating for 38 passengers or 32 passengers and two wheelchairs. The seat model was changed in this batch with the frames in brushed stainless steel. The seat inserts remained in Holdsworth Fabrics's blue crescents moquette. These buses have a wide front door with a wheelchair ramp and a narrow rear door that uses an optic sensor for operation by passengers. Heating, cooling and ventilation are provided by a roof-mounted Carrier unit. Passenger windows are of the tip-in transom design.
Before DRT, the buses wore the blue and yellow OTC livery. Shortly after the merger, they received the DRT livery. In November 2009, these buses received Sportworks bike racks.
The series started retirement in 2018.
