Bring on the jolly season!

It’s the time of year when everyone’s thoughts turn to the joy of the season and nothing kicks off the holiday season better than a parade.

Over the next few weeks you’ll have plenty of opportunity to attend one of York Region’s many Santa Claus parades, and if you do, watch out for vivaNext and YRT\Viva, as we spread winter cheer.

YRT\Viva work together to seamlessly connect, not only all the municipalities in York Region, but also to provide easy access to other transit systems operating in neighbouring regions — including Toronto, Durham and Peel.

VivaNext, York Region’s plan for the next generation of viva rapid transit service, will truly put the rapid into transit and make it even faster and easier for you to travel around and outside of York Region.

Whichever Santa Claus parade you go to, look for YRT\Viva and vivaNext staff wishing you happy holidays while proudly walking and waving alongside a beautifully decorated viva bus — it’ll be hard to miss!

One reply on “Bring on the jolly season!”

Hi Dale,

Unrelated question to the above but interesting nonetheless. At York Region Transit / Viva, is the proper name “Viva” all capitlized like the stylized “VIVA” found on the side of the buses or is it just “Viva”?

To further confuse things, in the above post is also see “viva” and “Viva” used.

Just a random question I’ve been pondering and would hope VIVAnext could help out 🙂

Thanks

Michael

DaleA: Hi Michael,

The YRT\Viva and vivaNext family use a variety of capitalization. YRT\Viva uses just a capital V in prose, but VIVA in logos – as you see on the side of buses. At vivaNext, we use the lowercase v in vivaNext and viva in prose, except at the beginning of sentences. We also use a capital N in vivaNext, except in our logo.
