BC Transit C901(1)-C905(1) were 1991 ElDorado National Escort RE buses built in 1991.

Originally classed and numbered as part of the Custom/Paratransit fleet, these units were originally assigned to Maple Ridge Transit system to operate the new and short lived "Link Bus" dial-a-bus service. When the Maple Ridge system was merged into the Port Coquitlam division of the Vancouver Regional Transit system, the buses were deployed as conventional vehicles as noted in roster.

All units were transferred to Municipal Systems Conventional fleet in November 1996 and assigned as noted. The "new" provincial fleet numbers for the group were the last numbers assigned in the Lower Mainland system. This group is the among the few vehicles to have had more than one Provincial fleet number assigned to them.
