The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and the week following was the final time that most of these buses ran in revenue service. In 2009 and 2010, the New Flyer D40 replacements had arrived, these were in the form of Nova Bus LFS buses. Most of the D40 fleet survived till the end of February 2010, when the Olympics took place. During this time many of the buses served as floaters (designated by a red card in the windshield), and some were assigned to regular runs such as those on the 15 and 84.
