  St. Albert Transit #833, a 2025-26 Nova Bus LFS Artic, departing Westmount Transit Centre SB in Edmonton as a route 203 University. St. Albert is due to receive 5 artics as part of their 2025 fleet replacement funding plan. So far #832-834 have entered service, with 835 & 836 (presumably) soon to follow. These buses will allow St. Albert to retire some of their remaining 2006 New Flyer D60LFs. They are the first Nova Artics in the Edmonton region, and among the very rare examples to feature the two door suburban configuration.

Strathcona County Transit #934 and #2041 together on 104 Avenue EB at 104 Street in Downtown Edmonton. #2041 is part of a recently-delivered order of five Nova LFS (#2038-2042). #934, a 2007 model, is among the oldest examples operated by Strathcona in addition to being part of the last order of single door LFS suburban models. #2038-42 should presumably replace some of these remaining 2007's, however they continue in active service for now.
  Cardinal Coach Lines operated commuter bus service between Airdrie and Calgary from 1980-81 until Fall 2010 when the City of Airdrie initiated service of their own commuter bus service on October 4, 2010. The top photo shows one of the buses Cardinal originally operated, #283, a 1976 Blue Bird with a Chevrolet C60 chassis.

20 years later we find #283 in service with Cardinal Coach Lines, now back to to being a yellow school bus. The bus had since been fitted with a wheelchair lift behind the front door.
