Saskatoon Transit 0701-0712, 713

Saskatoon Transit 701-713 are 2006 model New Flyer D40LFR buses built in February 2007.

0701-0708 were delivered in the DART paint scheme, while 0709-0712 were delivered in the Blue/White paint scheme, with green and blue seating colours respectively. The DART liveried buses have begun to be repainted into the Blue/White paint scheme.
