West Vancouver Municipal Transit 921–929 were a set of 9 Orion Bus Industries I 01.508 buses built in 1992.

These units were the first accessible buses in the West Vancouver fleet. All units were fitted with wheelchair lifts. Originally, these buses were fitted with rollsigns when first delivered but were retrofitted with Luminator MegaMAX 3000 destination signs in the mid-1990s.

Not only were these the only Orion I models running in the entire TransLink fleet at the time they were retired, but they were also one of few Orion I 01.508 units in the entire province.
