After an initial trial on the [[Coast Mountain Bus Company 9726-9791|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 was anticipated to start in November 2023 but has yet to commence. | After an initial trial on the [[Coast Mountain Bus Company 9726-9791|9726–9791]] series Novas, hard barriers were installed replacing the "shower curtain" installed on all non-barrier buses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
