MiWay 0904



MiWay 0904 is a 2008 New Flyer D40LFR that entered service in early 2016. This unit is the only one of its class in the ROBLOX fleet, having arrived with 1118 at the time of its introduction. The bus is also the newest vehicle with the Mississauga Transit livery and the first unit with this livery in the ROBLOX fleet.

When the bus was first introduced into revenue service, it had a "slider" control, as clicking the display information inside the bus would change it. It also had button controls for the doors, turn signals and kneeling as with the first version of the in-house chassis. Alongside, it had the Mississauga Transit logo painted on its orange stripe under the rear windows of the bus prior to being rebuilt to a mesh body.

In 2016, 0904 was refurbished with keyboard controls for most of its functions, replacing the old buttons. The unit received better steering for ease of operations. However, the engine start/stop function was also remapped to switch off the route displays when the engine was not running in early 2017, a few months before it was sent for rebuild.

By mid-2017, mechanical problems with the chassis, along with the rebuild program came to light. 0904 departed Robbins Garage for rebuild in June 2017 with 0831. Along with converting its body to a meshed one, it would receive mirrors, a bike rack and had its rear door mechanism modified, along with a newer engine. Its display was also converted to the less troublesome coded display, allowing for better operation and more signs to be added. The rebuild also removed the Mississauga Transit logo but repainted the stripe into a brighter orange colour.

On June 29, 2018, the bus returned from rebuild shortly after 0831, with both units returning to public operation that day. Therefore, 0904 is the second last-unit in the first-generation livery to be rebuilt. Since then, it has received regular updates with the other units in the fleet, such as coded displays, keyboard controls and a more powerful engine.

On June 2, 2021, 0904 was wrapped as the Pride bus for the month, as part of Sauga Transit's recognition of the LGBTQ+ community.

On June 1, 2022, this unit was rewrapped for Pride, making it the second year in a row it would carry this livery, effectively making it the main P/R bus of Sauga Transit for Pride Month.
