Jump to navigation Jump to search

West Vancouver Municipal Transit 901–909 are a set of nine Nova Bus LFS units built in 2009. Similar to their Coast Mountain Bus Company counterparts, they were also delivered with venturi exhaust tips to reduce heat emissions, but they were replaced with standard exhaust tips in 2018.

Along with the other TransLink Nova Bus units in 2009, these are among the only buses to be delivered with a two-tone stop request chime, as opposed to a single tone typically used on other TransLink buses. However, some units have had their chimes replaced with a single tone due to routine wear and tear.
