Once allocated out of the Markham division, 2023 was sent up to the Newmarket division along with a few others. Prior
to being sent up these buses received the new livery.
This former charter coach (after being bought from Pembroke Transit, was converted to single door by its previous
owner) is now owned by YRT, and can be seen providing service along low ridership routes, this photo was taken on Bur
Oak Ave in Cornell.
YRT is another one of the GTA's transit systems who leases out buses for
shootings, 519 was wrapped up in a non existent transit system (Ride 410
Bethesda Rockville Transit).
Once a common route for these buses, 520 is on layover at the rte 77 bay at the York Region Terminal.
Route 77 now has mostly D40LFs running on the route.
8915 still sporting its Richmond Hill Transit colours, departs the Richmond Hill Centre terminal. These buses are
set to retire in the near future.
YRT lately has taken quite a bit of interest in second hand buses, 9003 is another ex-Pembroke Transit bus that YRT
has recently acquired. YRT 9003 was photographed at the Richmond Hill Centre YRT/Viva transit terminal.
Parked in the layover area at the York Region Terminal, 2071 waits until it is time to depart on an express trip
to Markham.
YRT 2067 is waiting to make a left at Bullock and McCowan, the day this bus was photographed 2067 was assigned
to charter work to shuttle around seniors in the area.
1045 leaves York University, this along with its sister unit were one of the first Orion VI's to be done up in the YRT livery.
Notice it's missing the royal blue decal underneath the roof.
010 on layover at the York Region Terminal, this location is the new platform for route 5 Clark, previously it was located
across this location.
115 departs the York Region Terminal to start a northbound run on the new route 23 Thornhill Woods.
230 on layover at the Richmond Hill Centre Terminal, 230 was operating on route 87 at the time the photo was taken. Note the
Silver Ridge Spa wrap advertisement on the engine cover and above the A/C compartment.
D40LFs nowadays are becoming more common on rte 91 and 99, 333 was photographed
prior to starting a run on rte 99.
When not used in express service, these buses make it out onto other local routes to provide service. A prime example
of this is illustrated here, 302 was operating on rte 41 Markham Local during midday service.
Sister units 303 and 302 from Miller are standing by prior to a start on their
express trips to Markham.
Stumbled upon YRT Mobility Plus 385 parked at the Concord Wal Mart.
These are one of the newest vehicle's YRT is using in it's Mobility Transit fleet, they are
to replace the older equipment such as the Orion II's. These Overland ELF's appear to be nearly
identical to their sister units at TTC Wheel Trans.
541 departs the Newmarket Terminal on the 56 Gorham Eagle route, these batch of 30ft buses is YRT's first order of
new 30ft buses since 2001.
555 departing from the Newmarket bus terminal.
615 proceding to the 99 Yonge South platform at the York Region Terminal at Finch Subway Station, note the destination sign
was malfunctining hence the two hand written signs in place.
