What's new with Viva
Viva
Viva is the first service of its kind in the GTA giving you frequent, flexible and comfortable rides.
Viva vehicles are so un-bus like, we call them rapid transit vehicles and they’re like nothing you’ve experienced before. Viva connects Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Aurora and Newmarket, and also links to neighbouring regions of Toronto, Peel and Druham. It operates along major corridors much like an above-ground subway. Click here to view Viva’s service area map.
Frequency of service
Viva is so frequent it doesn’t even need a schedule. Stops are called "vivastations" and have a ticket vending machine and a ticket validator. Fares are on a proof-of-payment basis to speed up boarding times. As well, a real-time "smart" display lets you know when the next vehicle will arrive. Frequency is the hallmark of Viva with rapid transit vehicles arriving every 15 minutes or less, seven days a week. Click here to view Viva's first and last departure times.
