MiWay 0526 and 0549

MiWay 0526 and 0549 are 2005 New Flyer D40LFs. These units were part of the last order with "LF" style buses from New Flyer. The 2005 models replaced (in real life) some of the oldest high floor buses and were originally for Mississauga Transit. Following the retirement of the 03xx D40LFs, these buses are the oldest in Sauga Transit's fleet.

0526 and 0549 were introduced in early 2018, joining the other D40LFs. 0526 was first to enter service on route 19 on February 4, 2018 while 0549 entered service a few days later. These units look very similar to the 2003 models, having a wood-panel interior as well and the Mississauga logo on the stripe. However, they have black rear doors to make them different from the 03xx.

0526 and 0549 had click controls while the keyboard controlled-chassis was being rebuilt to comply with Filtering Enabled limitations. They were later given more powerful engines once they were refitted with a new chassis.

0526 suffered damage on the right side while it was being driven on unauthorized roads by an unruly operator. The operator has since been suspended.

0549 was damaged on August 22, 2020 after it was rear ended by an Operator. The vehicle is now awaiting repairs.
