Viva Green was a Viva bus rapid transit line in York Region, north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was operated by Tok Transit under contract from the Region of York.

Service on the Viva Green route was suspended on April 5, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] On August 14, 2023, YRT announced that the route would not resume operation.[2]

Route description

[edit]

Until its closure in 2020, the line had 12 stations. They were between the southern terminal at Don Mills subway station in North York and McCowan Road in Markham.[3] Viva Green operated during rush hour only and connected Viva Purple and Pink with Line 4 Sheppard. The line also served Unionville GO Station via the nearby Enterprise stop. Viva Green had 4 of its stops located in the city of Toronto, which was the most of any Viva bus rapid transit line.

Future

[edit]

York Region Transit plans to restructure Viva Green as a full service route on Leslie Street and Major Mackenzie Drive between the current southern terminus of Don Mills station and the intersection of Major Mackenzie Drive and Harding Boulevard, about two kilometres west of the Richmond Hill GO Station. It is planned to have connections with Viva Silver west of Richmond Hill GO Station and Viva Blue at Yonge Street.[6]
