Visitors can help themselves to free, complimentary cardstock models (referred to as "fold-a-bus" models by York Region Transit) at the end of the exhibit! This specific model is double-sided, and features a New Flyer XD40 in the YRT 25th and Viva 20th anniversary liveries, respectively.

And finally, at the end of the exhibit, you're able to help yourself to double-sided anniversary themed #YorkRegionTransit / #YRT "fold-a-bus" models!
