York Region Transit 1701-1715

York Region Transit 1701-1715 are Nova Bus LFS buses built in late 2016 and delivered in early 2017. They were purchased through the Metrolinx Transit Procurement Initiative.

These units were ordered as expansion units in anticipation of the takeover of TTC-contracted routes in Vaughan with the opening of the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension; however, with the decision to convert some Van Hool AG300 buses into local service, some ElDoraldo units were retired instead.

These buses may appear on routes 3 Thornhill, 4 Major Mackenzie, 5 Clark, 7 Martin Grove, 10 Woodbridge, 12 Pine Valley, 13 Islington, 20 Jane, 21 Vellore Local, 23 Thornhill Woods, 26 Maple, 32 Aurora South, 33 Wellington, 50 Queensway, 51 Keswick, 52 Holland Landing, 54 Bayview, 55 Davis, 56 Gorham-Eagle, 57 Mulock, 77 Highway 7, 85 Rutherford, 87 Autumn Hill, 88 Bathurst, 96 Keele-Yonge, 98 Yonge, 105 Dufferin, 107/107B Keele, 165/165F Weston, 361 Nashville Express, 720 Highway 407 Terminal/Wonderland, 760 Vaughan Mills/Wonderland, and school specials.

Upon entering service, these buses replaced 541, 545-555, 557, 567, 568, 619-621 and 623.
