York Region Transit 1921-1922
York Region Transit e1921-e1922 are 2020 model Nova Bus LFSe buses built and delivered in 2020.
They were ordered as part of the CUTRIC Pan-Canadian Electric-Bus Demonstration and Integration Trial, in coordination with Brampton Transit. Funding for the electric buses was initially provided by York Region and the Province of Ontario, with in-kind contributions provided by Nova Bus (including maintenance, support and training during the trial period). The provincial government contribution was cut in July 2018 following the elimination of the provincial Cap-and-Trade program, with the full capital cost of the buses picked up by York Region.[1]
Production of this order was complete by early 2020; the buses entered service in early November of the same year.
These buses were delivered with no decals, and were were later wrapped in a special green/blue "eBus" livery. In 2022, all units had their fleet numbers replaced with the addition of an "e" prefix.
These buses may be found on routes 44 Bristol, 52 Holland Landing, 55 Davis Drive, 56 Gorham-Eagle, and school specials. An OppCharge fast-charger, located in the commuter parking lot of Newmarket terminal, charges the buses between runs.
