Downtown Markham has never been closer… thanks to the exciting new Viva rapid transit system. Viva links Aurora, Markham, Newmarket, Richmond Hill and Vaughan to the City of Toronto and the TTC. Launched in September of 2005, Viva offers riders a flexible and convenient service that makes traveling to and from Downtown Markham a breeze.

The system’s new rapid transit vehicles – they’re much more than just buses - are roomy, comfortable and best of all, frequent, with current service running every 5 to 15 minutes. Plus, Viva offers riders innovative new features like intelligent transportation systems with real-time passenger information and “hop on and hop off” service that lets you ride both Viva and YRT in any direction for two full hours without paying an additional fare.

And things will only get better. Phase 2 of the Viva rapid transit system could begin as early as 2007.
