The first of theTTC's new-look buseshit the streets earlier this week, embarking on the 51 Leslie route. You'd be forgiven if you hadn't noticed because this is one of the lesser traveled circuits in the city, but a few intrepid photographers spotted the redecorated Orion VII NG bus in the wild.

This isn't a brand new bus (alas), but a new livery that's being used on both newly acquired buses and those that have been rebuilt and required a new paint job. It just so happens thatbus number 8159was the first of the rebuilt vehicles to hit the road this week.

The TTC hasordered 285 new busesfrom Nova for 2017 and 2018, all of which will come painted in the new livery, which is designed to match the scheme of our Bombardier streetcars. In other words, you can expect to see a lot more of them on the streets this year.
