Units | Engine | Transmission | Seating | Destination Sign |

History
This batch was the last order of articulated buses delivered with B-Line branding. These were originally delivered with perch seats in the articulated joint but were replaced with a single seat with extended grab rails on each side shortly after delivery. Due to a pinch point hazard in the articulated joint area created by stanchions, these buses were delayed in entering service as the locations of the affected stanchions had to be modified in-house.
They are the first buses in the fleet to have all door kneeling, compared to other units in the fleet (except for the New Flyer DE60LFR units) where there is only front door kneeling.
These units were one of the first orders delivered with the passenger voice-announcement and display systems by INIT pre-installed. CCTV cameras were installed in 2011. Compass Card readers were gradually installed starting in late 2012 and through 2013.
The replacement for 8054 was included in this order.
8102–8104 were transferred to West Vancouver Transit in 2009 and renumbered 712–714 to replace 912–914. They were repainted to have a darker shade of blue to match with other West Vancouver Transit vehicles and received West Vancouver branding and decals, including the coat of arms. They returned to Coast Mountain Bus Company in 2018 following the transfer of operations for the 257 and were renumbered to their original fleet numbers and had all West Vancouver Transit branding removed. However, these units retained their West Vancouver Transit livery with the darker blue until refurbishment.
After an initial trial on the 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.
Deployment
Currently, this series is based out of Port Coquitlam Transit Centre. They can be found commonly on the following routes:
- 143 Burquitlam Station/SFU
- 145 Production Station/SFU
- 150 White Pine Beach/Coquitlam Central Station
From time to time based on operational requirements, these units can also be found on other Port Coquitlam-operated routes that require articulated buses such as:
- R1 King George Blvd
- R3 Lougheed Hwy
- 701 Coquitlam Central Station/Maple Ridge East
- N9 Coquitlam Central Station/Downtown NightBus
Initially, this entire series was based out of Burnaby Transit Centre, servicing various express routes. In August 2009, units 8102–8104 were transferred to West Vancouver Transit and renumbered 712–714 to replace 912–914. These units returned in August 2018 and were renumbered back to 8102–8104.
In February 2019, coaches began to transfer out of Burnaby and to Port Coquitlam to replace aging New Flyer D60LF units following the arrival of the 18000 and 19000 series New Flyer XDE60 coaches. Within a month, the entire series was based out of Port Coquitlam.
