Toronto Transit Commission 7200-7251 are Nova Bus T80-206 RTS WFD buses built and delivered in 1998. The TTC had already substituted half of a 100 unit order for the Orion VI with lift-equipped Orion Vs in order to expedite delivery. Instead of ordering 100 more Orion VIs, the TTC placed an order for the RTS; a bus that General Manage David Gunn knew well from his term in New York. However Nova could not meet the delivery schedule as promised. The order was amended to 52 buses and the TTC purchased 51 buses from New Flyer.
The RTS order was the last for accessible high floor, lift-equipped buses for the TTC. Unlike other lift-equipped buses used by the TTC, the wheelchair lift is located at the rear door.
This series received a structural and mechanical overhaul beginning in October 2006, with the final bus completed by 2008. The most visible difference post-rebuild was the livery. The black portion now wrapped around the front and around the rear of the bus. In addition, prior to their rebuild it was common for the paint to chip because of the stainless steel body panels.
All buses have received bike racks, automated announcements, and CCTV cameras. In March, 2010, a prototype driver barrier was installed in unit 7200. It consisted of a two-piece, hinged plexiglass upper portion and an independent metal bottom portion. The rest of the fleet was fitted with the barriers later in the year. A couple of buses received Luminator Horizon signs in 2010 and 2012. Other buses are now receiving these signs when the original flip-dot signs fail.
This batch of buses was originally scheduled for retirement in 2016, however some buses are being withdrawn in advance due to a number of factors. These include corrosion of structural components, decreased reliability with age, and difficulty in acquiring replacement components. Approximately fourteen buses were sidelined since 2014 and never returned to service. As of 2015, 26 buses in total have been retired from service.
These buses were initially at Danforth Garage, but moved to Arrow Rd. in 2002. These buses are most often found on routes 35 Jane, 37 Islington, 96 Wilson and 165 Weston Rd North, but may also occasionally be found on busier Arrow Rd. routes, including 36 Finch West, 60 Steeles West, 84 Sheppard West and 108 Downsview.
