Viva Silver is a bus rapid transit route planned by York Region Transit to operate in Regional Municipality of York, Ontario, Canada. It is expected to begin service in 2018 as part of the Viva Rapid Transit service, after the opening of the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre subway station on the Spadina extension of the Line 1 Yonge–University subway in Toronto.
The planned route is from the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Terminal north along Jane Street to Major Mackenzie Drive, then east to Richmond Hill GO Station. It will include a transit signal priority system.
The route is part of York Region Transit's "frequent transit network" enhancements, in which Jane Street, Leslie Street, and Major Mackenzie Drive are considered top priority transit corridors for 2016. Frequency of York Region Transit rush hour bus service operating on those corridors will be progressively increased from 2016 to 2018 before implementation of the Viva service in order to increase ridership. The expected route service frequency is 10 minutes.
