Viva Orange, is a line on the Viva bus rapid transit system in York Region, north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Its entire route is also served by other agencies' bus rapid transit services. Between Martin Grove and York University, Brampton Transit's 501 Züm Queen route duplicates service, and between York University and Sheppard West Station, the TTC's Route 196 York University Rocket duplicates service. Service on this line began on October 16, 2005.

There are twelve stations on the Viva Orange line (from south-east to north-west):

Viva Orange shares routing with Brampton Transit's 501 Züm Queen express bus route between Martin Grove and York University, and has been fare integrated with it since its creation in September 2010. Both Brampton Transit and York Region Transit proofs of payment are accepted for the entire length of both bus routes.

Prior to the creation of Züm, there was a similar fare agreement in place on Route 77, which operated between Bramalea City Centre Terminal and Finch Bus Terminal, and was jointly operated by York Region Transit and Brampton Transit. Both Brampton Transit and York Region Transit fares were accepted on Route 77, including the 77A branch between Bramalea and York University. Concurrently with the opening of Züm, route 77 was cut back to Highway 50, the border between Brampton and York Region, and is now operated exclusively as a YRT route, though Brampton Transit's proof of payment continues to be valid for that route (as is YRT proof of payment valid for Brampton bus route 1).
