With a fleet of almost 1,000 buses providing 95.3 million rides annually on 168 routes, Calgary Transit is a significant new partner for Nova Bus and will help consolidate the company's growing presence in Western Canada.
Making the very most of Nova Bus's know-how and experience, Calgary Transit has selected a 40-feet configuration of Nova LFS, which offers time-tested performance and reliability.
