Mississauga Transit 0888-0899

MiWay 0888-0899 were 2009 model 32' ElDorado National E-Z Rider II MAX buses built in 2008.

In January 2008, a tender was issued for the supply of 24 30' low floor diesel buses. City View Bus Sales was the only one to respond to the tender at a cost of approximately $9.5 million, and they were awarded the contract for 24 buses. 12 buses (0888-0899) were delivered in January 2009 and 12 buses (0930-0941) were delivered in August 2009.

Delivery began in January 2009, and the buses began entering service later that month. The buses were purchased for fleet expansion.

Retirement of these buses began in 2017. While MiWay had a service life of 12 years for 30 foot buses, it was decided to retire all of the ElDorado buses (0701-0712, 0888-0899, 0930-0941) by early 2018 due to increased operating costs and declining reliability.

Following retirement, many MiWay ElDorado buses were purchased by companies such as City View Bus Sales, Mississauga Bus Group, and Tokmakjian Inc. with some being resold to other operators.
