Home Updates Mystery Trips Santa Clara VTA New Flyer Buses


ABOUT THE BUSES:

VTA proposed to use the 4300 series New Flyers on future bus rapid transit. Most of the buses are liveried in blue with white stripe around the belt. However, number 4301 is in regular VTA white with red and blue stripes, and regularly operates on the 22 line. Delivered in 2014, the buses sat mostly unused (except for light rail bridges and Levi's Stadium runs) until December 2015, when a few appeared on rapid 522. VTA announced that the 4300s would begin service on the 522 January 4, 2016, replacing older Gillig and New Flyer buses in rapid wrap livery. Buses also operate on tripper services such as route 55 school services turning back at Fremont High School.
