Transit system integration



Brampton Transit


Viva Orange shares routing with Brampton Transit's 501 Züm Queen express bus route between Martin Grove and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC), and has been fare integrated with it since its creation in September 2010. Both Brampton Transit and York Region Transit proofs of payment are accepted for the entire length of both bus routes.



Toronto Transit Commission (TTC)


Viva Orange connects with the TTC's Yonge–University subway at VMC station. However there is no fare integration between the TTC and YRT. As a result, a TTC fare or YRT fare is required to transfer between the subway and Viva Orange or other YRT buses.



Route changes


Viva Orange originally began service on October 16, 2005 and operated between Martin Grove Road on Highway 7 and Sheppard West subway station via York University. On December 17, 2017 the Line 1 Yonge–University extension opened and replaced service between Sheppard West and Highway 7. Viva Orange's eastern terminus was relocated to the Richmond Hill Centre Terminal to coincide with the subway's opening.



Future


In 2020, the western terminus will be extended to Highway 50 with additional stops at Highway 427 and Highway 27. In 2023 an additional branch at will be created at the eastern terminus between Promenade Terminal and Finch station.[2]



Rapidway



Viva Orange operates along dedicated right of way (dubbed Rapidways) between Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and Keele. In 2019, the Rapidway will be extended west to Helen and east to Richmond Hill Centre. Eventually, the entire Highway 7 Corridor could be upgraded to light rail transit.[5]
