==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 Industries|New Flyer]] [[New Flyer Industries DE60LFR|DE60LFR]] [[Coast Mountain Bus Company 8118-8156|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 [[Coast Mountain Bus Company 8048-8099, 8101|8054]] was included in this order. | |||
8102–8104 were transferred to [[West Vancouver Municipal Transit|West Vancouver Transit]] in 2009 and renumbered [[West Vancouver Municipal Transit 712-714|712–714]] to replace [[West Vancouver Municipal Transit 912-914|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 [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 257 'Horseshoe Bay / Vancouver Express'|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 [[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. By March 2024, it was decided that barriers would not be installed as these units are close to retirement. | |||
In April 2024, the B-Line branding was removed on all remaining units that did not have them removed during refurbishment or due to other reasons such as wear and tear or vandalism. | |||
==Deployment== | |||
Currently, this series is primarily based out of [[Coast Mountain Bus Company Burnaby Transit Centre|Burnaby Transit Centre]], with some units based out of [[Coast Mountain Bus Company Port Coquitlam Transit Centre|Port Coquitlam Transit Centre]]. They can be found commonly on the following routes: | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 44 'UBC / Downtown'|44 UBC/Downtown]] | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 49 'Metrotown Stn / UBC'|49 Metrotown Station/UBC]] | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 99 'Commercial - Broadway Station / UBC (B-Line)'|99 B-Line]] | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 143 'Burquitlam Station / SFU'|143 Burquitlam Station/SFU]] | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 145 'SFU / Production Stn'|145 Production Station/SFU]] | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 257 'Horseshoe Bay / Vancouver'|257 Horseshoe Bay/Vancouver]] | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route N17 'UBC / Downtown Nightbus'|N17 UBC/Downtown NightBus]] | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route N19 'Surrey Central Station / New Westminster / Downtown Nightbus'|N19 Surrey Central Station/Downtown NightBus]] | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route N35 'SFU / Downtown Nightbus'|N35 SFU/Downtown NightBus]] | |||
Depending on operational requirements, they can also be found on routes [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route R2 'Marine Dr RapidBus'|R2 Marine Dr]] and [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route R5 'Hastings St RapidBus'|R5 Hastings St]]. | |||
For units based in Port Coquitlam, these units can also be found on the following routes from time to time based on operational requirements: | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route R1 'King George Blvd RapidBus'|R1 King George Blvd]] | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route R3 'Lougheed Hwy RapidBus'|R3 Lougheed Hwy]] | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 150 'White Pine Beach / Coquitlam Central Station'|150 White Pine Beach/Coquitlam Central Station]] | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 160 'Port Coquitlam Stn / Kootenay Loop'|160 Port Coquitlam Station/Kootenay Loop]] | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 701 'Coquitlam Central Station / Haney Place / Maple Ridge East / Mission City Station'|701 Coquitlam Central Station/Maple Ridge East]] | |||
* [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route N9 'Coquitlam Central Station / Downtown Nightbus'|N9 Coquitlam Central Station/Downtown NightBus]] | |||
Initially, this entire series was based out of [[Coast Mountain Bus Company Burnaby Transit Centre|Burnaby Transit Centre]], servicing various express routes. In August 2009, units 8102–8104 were transferred to [[West Vancouver Municipal Transit|West Vancouver Transit]] and renumbered [[West Vancouver Municipal Transit 712-714|712–714]] to replace [[West Vancouver Municipal Transit 912-914|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 [[Coast Mountain Bus Company 18001-18063|18000]] and [[Coast Mountain Bus Company 19001-19047|19000]] series New Flyer XDE60 coaches. Within a month, the entire series was based out of Port Coquitlam. | |||
In April 2024 as part of the transfer of operations from Port Coquitlam to Burnaby for routes [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 143 'Burquitlam Station / SFU'|143 Burquitlam Station/SFU]] and [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 145 'SFU / Production Stn'|145 Production Station/SFU]], most units were transferred to Burnaby. Port Coquitlam retained some units for contingency use. | |||

Coast Mountain Bus Company 8102–8117 are a set of 16 New Flyer Industries D60LFR units built in 2007.
Units | Engine | Transmission | Seating | Destination Sign |
---|---|---|---|---|
8102–8117 | Cummins ISM 330 hp | Allison World B500R6 6 speed | 46 – USSC Aries | Luminator Horizon |
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. By March 2024, it was decided that barriers would not be installed as these units are close to retirement.
In April 2024, the B-Line branding was removed on all remaining units that did not have them removed during refurbishment or due to other reasons such as wear and tear or vandalism.
Deployment
Currently, this series is primarily based out of Burnaby Transit Centre, with some units based out of Port Coquitlam Transit Centre. They can be found commonly on the following routes:
- 44 UBC/Downtown
- 49 Metrotown Station/UBC
- 99 B-Line
- 143 Burquitlam Station/SFU
- 145 Production Station/SFU
- 257 Horseshoe Bay/Vancouver
- N17 UBC/Downtown NightBus
- N19 Surrey 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.
In April 2024 as part of the transfer of operations from Port Coquitlam to Burnaby for routes 143 Burquitlam Station/SFU and 145 Production Station/SFU, most units were transferred to Burnaby. Port Coquitlam retained some units for contingency use.
