York Region Transit 521-536 are Van Hool A330 buses built in 2005. Originally delivered for Viva service and numbered as part of 5101-5160, sixteen units were refurbished and converted for use on conventional YRT service in 2023-24. This was the second group of A330 units that were converted, following 501-520 that were refurbished in 2012-2014.
The buses are painted in YRT's three-tone blue livery. They have retained the push-buttons for passengers to open the rear doors. The operator's cab door had to be removed to fit the farebox and Presto transfer cutter. A Presto reader was fitted on a stanchion just below the windshield. Differences from the units previously converted in 2012-14, this series retained their original Kiel Lite seats, but were reupholstered in the standard fabric used on YRT buses up to 2009. This series also retain their Viva blue-painted bike racks.
These buses are normally found on 3 Thornhill, 4 Major Mackenzie, 5 Clark, 7 Martin Grove, 12 Pine Valley, 13 Islington, 20 Jane, 21 Vellore, 23 Thornhill Woods, 26 Maple Local, 77 Highway 7, 80 Elgin Mills, 83/83A Trench, 85 Rutherford, 86 Newkirk-Red Maple, 87 Autumn Hill, 88 Bathurst, 105 Dufferin, 107/107B Keele, 165 Weston, 320 Jane Express, 360 Vaughan Mills/Wonderland, 361 Nashville Express, and school specials.
