==History== | |||
This series is the only diesel-powered third-generation [[Nova Bus LFS|LFS]] order in the Coast Mountain Bus Company fleet. They are fitted with Venturi exhaust tips to reduce exhaust heat emissions. Due to a fleet numbering error, there is no unit 9582. | |||
When delivered, the interior dome lights were all white. Over time, the light covers were changed to blue to reduce glare at night. 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. | |||
These units were among 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. | |||
In June 2022, units 9563, 9564, 9567 and 9576 were fitted with seven interior bike racks for service on the [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 900 'Bike Bus'|900 Bike Bus]] between Bridgeport Station and the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal. Capable of carrying a total of nine bikes (seven inside and two outside), these buses also carried a special Bike Bus vinyl wrap livery and had a capacity of 18 seated passengers with no standees allowed. These were also the only buses in the fleet to be designated as not wheelchair accessible due to their designation as a Bike Bus. Following the end of the Bike Bus trial period, these buses returned to regular revenue service with the interior bike racks removed, seats restored to their original configurations and special liveries removed. Units 9543-9546 were used for Bike Bus service in summer 2023. | |||
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 was done on this series in the summer of 2023. | |||
==Deployment== | |||
This series is entirely based out of [[Coast Mountain Bus Company Richmond Transit Centre|Richmond Transit Centre]] and can be found on any conventional bus route operated by this depot. Since 2023, units 9543–9546 are the designated buses for the [[Coast Mountain Bus Company route 900 'Bike Bus'|900 Bike Bus]], a seasonal summer service. | |||
When first delivered, this series was entirely based out of [[Coast Mountain Bus Company Vancouver Transit Centre|Vancouver Transit Centre]]. With the arrival of the [[Coast Mountain Bus Company 18301-18404|2018 Nova Bus LFS HEV]] units in November 2018, this series began to transfer out to Richmond where it replaced aging New Flyer D40LF units. | |||

Latest revision as of 16:48, 10 March 2024
Coast Mountain Bus Company 9543–9581, 9583–9590 are a set of 47 Nova Bus LFS units built in 2009.
Engine | Transmission | Seating | Destination Sign |
---|---|---|---|
Cummins ISL 280 hp | ZF 6HP554C 6 speed | 36 – 4ONE Aries | Axion Technologies Orange LED |
History
This series is the only diesel-powered third-generation LFS order in the Coast Mountain Bus Company fleet. They are fitted with Venturi exhaust tips to reduce exhaust heat emissions. Due to a fleet numbering error, there is no unit 9582.
When delivered, the interior dome lights were all white. Over time, the light covers were changed to blue to reduce glare at night. 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.
These units were among 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.
In June 2022, units 9563, 9564, 9567 and 9576 were fitted with seven interior bike racks for service on the 900 Bike Bus between Bridgeport Station and the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal. Capable of carrying a total of nine bikes (seven inside and two outside), these buses also carried a special Bike Bus vinyl wrap livery and had a capacity of 18 seated passengers with no standees allowed. These were also the only buses in the fleet to be designated as not wheelchair accessible due to their designation as a Bike Bus. Following the end of the Bike Bus trial period, these buses returned to regular revenue service with the interior bike racks removed, seats restored to their original configurations and special liveries removed. Units 9543-9546 were used for Bike Bus service in summer 2023.
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 was done on this series in the summer of 2023.
Deployment
This series is entirely based out of Richmond Transit Centre and can be found on any conventional bus route operated by this depot. Since 2023, units 9543–9546 are the designated buses for the 900 Bike Bus, a seasonal summer service.
When first delivered, this series was entirely based out of Vancouver Transit Centre. With the arrival of the 2018 Nova Bus LFS HEV units in November 2018, this series began to transfer out to Richmond where it replaced aging New Flyer D40LF units.
