YRT’s New Buses

The new buses will support YRT’s conventional fixed-route service across the Regional Municipality of York in Ontario, Canada. The 32-foot length is ideal in size and capacity for specific routes within the region, where 40-foot buses are not suitable.

“York Region Transit serves a growing community, and we are proud they have chosen ENC to help carry that service forward,” said Jason Lee, CEO of ENC. “The E-Z Rider II is engineered for exactly this kind of work, and this order reflects the confidence transit agencies across North America are placing in our products, our people, and our delivery.”

YRT provides public transit service for the Regional Municipality of York, which comprises nine municipalities with a population exceeding 1.2 million and is located just north of Toronto in Ontario, Canada. The agency operates conventional fixed-route, express, and on-demand services connecting communities throughout the region, and delivering nearly 24 million rides per year.

“This order reflects the strength of our partnership with City View and the trust YRT has placed in both of us,” said John Obert, VP of transit sales at ENC. “Working with City View, who knows the Canadian market firsthand, means we can support YRT well beyond delivery.”

ENC Bus Manufacturing

The buses will be manufactured at ENC's 227,000-square-foot facility in Jurupa Valley, California, where production activities include frame welding, assembly, and final inspection. Since acquiring ENC in 2024, Rivaz has invested more than $50 million in facility and equipment upgrades, workforce training, and planned expansion projects.
