Medicine Hat Transit 743-747 are 2019 Grande West Vicinity 30' buses.

They were ordered in November 2018, along with 6 CNG units and 7 special transit units as part of a fleet replacement program.[1].

Delivery began in December 2019, and the buses began entering service on January 15, 2020. As Medicine Hat reuses old fleet numbers, they are the third order of buses to carry their fleet numbers. The first were old looks 743 and 744 and New Looks 745-747. The second were D40LFs 743, 744, and 745-747.

Features

These are the first buses to feature white LED destination signs. They are also the first to have Luminator INFOtransit screens inside.

Other features include Valeo HVAC systems, 2.4 amp USB charging ports, three wheelchair positions utilizing the American Seating Q'Pod Q'Straint wheelchair restraint system, and Vapor two-leaf front and rear doors. There are two 'stop requested' signs; one sign in the front employing red LEDs to spell out Stop Request, as well as one in the back using the standard backlit printed plastic method.

Upon entering service, the rear fleet numbers were centred on the top of the engine compartment door. Later, the numbers were moved to the right of the brake light, with the City of Medicine Hat logo appearing on the left. 745 was the last unit to feature the original placement, receiving the city logo on February 12, 2020.
