York Region Transit 1501-1518

Interior layout of 1501-1518

York Region Transit 1501-1518 are Nova Bus LFS buses built and delivered in 2015 and 2016. They were purchased through the Metrolinx Transit Procurement Initiative.

These are the first conventional (as well as 40-foot) buses acquired from Nova Bus by YRT. Previous purchases were of articulated buses for Viva service. The initial order was for 16 buses, however York Region took the option to add two additional buses to the order for service improvements.

Unlike all conventional bus orders since 2002, the 2015 LFS have a rear window, additional stop request button instead of tapes and sensor-activated rear door. In addition, the side logo was modified and the fleet numbers are in a different typeface.

All buses initially delivered into Transdev. 1501-1509 were assigned to Miller afterwards.

These buses are normally found on 3 Thornhill, 4/4A Major Mackenzie, 5 Clark, 7 Martin Grove, 10 Woodbridge, 12 Pine Valley, 13 Islington, 20 Jane, 21 Vellore Local, 23 Thornhill Woods, 26 Maple, 28 Huntington, 77/77A Highway 7, 85/85C Rutherford, 87 Autumn Hill, 88 Bathurst, 90/90B Leslie, 105 Dufferin, 107/107B Keele, 165/165F Weston, 760 Vaughan Mills/Wonderland, and school specials.

Upon entering service, these buses retired 225-233 and 301-302, 307 and 310, however 307 would later be brought back into service.
