History
These are the first hybrid units in the fleet and entered revenue service in late July 2009.
This series is one of two orders in the fleet to have all-door kneeling with the other being the New Flyer D60LFR units. They are one of the first orders delivered with the passenger voice-announcement and display systems by INIT pre-installed. CCTV cameras were installed in 2011. Compass Card readers were gradually installed starting in late 2012 and through 2013.
To reduce maintenance and decrease noise, the articulated joints were upgraded in-house to have a set of rollers and gears replaced with a slider mechanism. This allows the joint to move independently from the coach and has metal and fabric bellows instead of gears that force the joint turntable to centre itself. This work was done in November 2010.
As part of an advertisement campaign by TELUS to promote the launch of their public Wi-Fi service, 8125 was equipped with free Wi-Fi in August 2014. Along with 9258 and 9266, they became the first in the system. The service was discontinued in January 2015 after the end of the advertisement campaign. Wi-Fi returned to this series with an advertising campaign by Metropolis at Metrotown between August 2016 and January 2017 on 8118 and 8144.
After an initial trial on the 9726–9791 series Novas, hard barriers were installed replacing the "shower curtain" installed on all non-barrier buses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Installation work on this series began in November 2023.
