ST. ALBERT TRANSIT
2025-26 Nova Bus LFS Artic #832-838

Unlike previous procurements that focused on one size of bus, the RFP that St. Albert issued in November 2023 included both 40' and 60' buses. More details can be found at 2025-26 LFS page.
For the artics, this order had 5 replacement buses, and the option year included another 2. Enough the replace the unique 2007 CAT powered D60LF fleet. Of course, the option year was exercised.
Like the LFS fleet, the LFS artics would start trickling in starting with 832 entering service on January 28, 2026 with 6 units in service by May 11, 2026.

Specs for these buses:
Engine:
Transmission:
Seating:  InSight Prime+ all black
Destination Sign:

Fleet notes: Like the regular LFS's, technically 2 separate orders.
Same InSight Prime+ seating as the XD60's but without the green insert. Instead they are all black.
