Coast Mountain Bus Company 7447-7499, 7501-7504

Coast Mountain Bus Company 7447–7499, 7501–7504 are a set of 57 New Flyer Industries D40LFR units built in 2006.

This set was originally part of an order for 95 C40LFR buses. In early 2006, TransLink reversed the decision to purchase the 95 buses and attempted to cancel the order. However, New Flyer was unable to completely cancel the order "without significant impact to the cost and schedule as the buses [were] too close to production line entry" and the order was instead revised to 50 C40LFR buses and the remaining 45 C40LFRs yet to go into production were changed to 45 D40LFRs. As diesel buses were at the time $64,000 cheaper and the reduction of the C40LFR order meant upgrades were no longer required for the CNG fuelling stations at Port Coquitlam Transit Centre, the money saved allowed TransLink to order 12 additional D40LFRs, which together formed this set of 57 units.

Due to headlight visibility issues with bike racks, bikes were initially not allowed after sunset for a short period after these units were delivered. Almost immediately after the buses entered service in late 2006, the issue was noticed and was brought to New Flyer's attention. The provincial motor carrier commission recommended that New Flyer retrofit the headlights, but that would have been costly and time-consuming. New Flyer proposed that a different style of bike racks be used instead. The bike racks were replaced with a different style from late 2007 to early 2008. In 2009, passenger voice-announcement and display systems by INIT were introduced. CCTV cameras were installed in 2011. Compass Card readers were gradually installed starting in late 2012 and through 2013.
