VIVA + York Region Transit

Unionville is what I meant. But Stouffville is really poorly served by just Route 9.

Considering that the 77 bus is faster than BRT tells you that they don't care about speed.

I think it has to do with the fact that the YRT buses are shorter and accelerate faster. Sometimes you’d see a 99 or 98/99 bus “race” a Viva Blue at night and the YRT bus usually “wins”.

Stouffville would be best served by 2 base routes (one north-south route along Ninth Line and one-east-west route along Main St) and a local circulator route. Unfortunate, budget limitations mean there are only two routes operating (one east-west base route along Main St operating at erratic hours as a GO train replacement bus and the zig-zag base-coverage Frankenstein Route 9). If the town/region were able to raise funds for about 8,000 annual service hours they could have a half-hourly weekday circulator service supplementing the two base routes.

What routes do the various Voith 864.3E gearboxed buses frequent on? Trying to catch some of them and any information would be great - thanks in advance.

Your best bet would be to use the CPTDB wiki to find which buses are so equipped, and then use TransSee to find where they are in service.
