Vivanext, Bus rapid transit system in York Region, Canada

Vivanext is the bus rapid transit service of York Region Transit, running mainly along Yonge Street and Highway 7. It uses Belgian-built Van Hool and Canadian-built NovaBus vehicles called rapid transit vehicles, with dedicated lanes, bus-only roads and right-turn lane bypasses at intersections. Stops are branded Vivastations, blue in York Region and red in Toronto.

Viva opened in stages starting September 6, 2005, with later phases on October 16 and November 20, 2005, January 2, 2006, and January 27, 2008. It was built under a public–private partnership with York Consortium, seven private firms handling design, construction, and operations. Rush-hour routes Viva Green and Viva Blue A were suspended in April 2020 and confirmed discontinued on August 14, 2023; Viva Pink followed in 2024.

Viva stations are branded "Vivastations" and are blue across York Region, except where a historic-area theme changes the colour; in Toronto they are red. Shelters along Yonge Street north of Steeles at Clark Avenue, John Street, Centre Street, Royal Orchard and Bay Thorn use a gablet roof design. Fares follow the same proof-of-payment structure as YRT buses, so riders transfer between Viva and regular YRT routes without paying again.

Riders board at color-coded Vivastations equipped with ticket machines and digital displays showing arrival times in real time. Service operates from early morning through late evening across the three main communities.

Specialized intersection designs automatically give priority to transit vehicles at traffic lights, reducing overall journey times compared to regular bus routes. This signal technology allows buses to pass through congested areas more efficiently.
