Viva Green was a Viva bus rapid transit line in York Region, north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was operated by Tok Transit under contract from the Region of York.
Service on the Viva Green route was suspended on April 5, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] On August 14, 2023, YRT announced that the route would not resume operation.[2]
There were 12 stations on the line, between the southern terminal at Don Mills subway station in North York and McCowan Road in Markham.[3] Viva Green operated during rush hour only and connected Viva Purple and Pink with Line 4 Sheppard. The line also served Unionville GO Station via the nearby Enterprise stop. Viva Green had 4 of its stops located in the city of Toronto, which was the most of any Viva bus rapid transit line.
