Welcome to my newest transit video! Here is a quick look at the newest buses at YRT/Viva, the 2019 Nova Bus LFS Artic numbered 1971-1980. A short ride from Richmond Hill Center Terminal to Finch Terminal is featured.
These buses are mostly identical with the previous batch, 1770-1774, and has a few new features, most notably a new display screen inside, new Luminator signs, larger logo at the front, relocated front fleet numbers, and the Cummins L9 engine. These buses were delivered at the end of December 2019 and entered service on 3 February 2020 and will replace some of the Van Hool AG300 buses as well as increasing service frequency on Viva Blue and Purple.
I don't have much to say about these new buses even though they are a really comfortable ride. This trip is part of an eventful day with transit spotting, which after this trip I went on the GO Transit 96E to Scarborough where the Presto reader was broken which meant a free ride! On the non-transit side of life, earlier this day and yesterday I gave my first Jack Talks, which are peer-to-peer mental health presentations organized by Jack.org that speaks to schools and community groups. It's such an amazing program, I encourage you to apply!
As for the videos filmed this past summer in New Zealand, I'll hopefully get these up soon as I upgrade to a better internet connection, of which the existing one has been extremely slow (8 hours to upload a 12 minute video like this one, vs 12 minutes on a faster fibre-optic connection).
