Spotted 0802 again yesterday.  It is a Thomas C2 that has a wheelchair lift access door at the rear that does not appear to be in use. Also appears to be a 10 or an 11 row unit and fully seated with no space for wheelchairs.

Same as 0801 then. I think these units also have the shorter wheel-base...

Yes they are shorter.  Pretty sure they are 10 row units (60 passenger units).

I think these units were actually repainted into school bus yellow. I photographed a white C2 back in September 2017 that matches the description of 0801 and 0802. That means these units are former Winnipeg units.

And looking at your image, those are 10 row units!  So that would make sense! And I think I have photos of them running in Winnipeg too!  I shall dig through my images now.

There's a new unit operating on one of the CrossIron Mills route. Couldn't get a unit number or picture, but it is a 72 passenger white IC CE with a roof-top mounted A/C and what appeared to be a transit style destination sign above the front windshield. 

Yes I keep seeing that bus too.  It is a 6 digit unit like the ones that you can see parked in the yard by McKnight Blvd. in the N.E.  I wish they were 4 digit numbers.  Easier to memorize.

So that's the unit I saw operating on the shuttle a few weeks ago! There's actually another unit numbered 463941 that looks just like the unit you pictured; spotted it parked at the Main Yards a month or so ago.
