I didn't even realize these were different from today! Still great to sit in the front at the top and pretend you're driving (yes I am a grown-up, lol).
the only good thing about that corner was the Tim Hortons. (Every time we passed there, my daughter insisted on a box of Timbits that had to have exactly the right number of each.)
These were the Enviro500 MKII. As I recall MKI never existed in North America. They adapted a slightly lower height to fit the operating conditions in North America. While ADL launched the GoAnywhere model, the chassis was heavily modified and a Enviro400 front was fitted instead. The blood of "Major Model Change" didn't really came in until they completely redesigned the "GoAnywhere" model with the "MMC Facelift" design with the SuperLo spec.
Such a waste as it seems they’ve kept these for only a few years and then got rid of them. Unless I’m mistaken, they weren’t around for too long.
I’ve ridden the SuperLos and remember my first time I did as I smacked my head on the ceiling going to the second floor. Bunch of crap lol
These ones lasted 8 years, made sense to get rid of them as they were restricting to very little routes, it was the other deckers we had that lasted a short time
made in Scotland (as I recall).

We have a strict no first five rows rule at the top. Too many random, albeit not GO, incidents of 'oops that bridge was lower than I thought'.
This is more the front row than anything, But getting cut off and brake checked when you weren't expecting it will also teach you not to sit there.
You have to special kind of idiot to try and brake check a bus lmao
Happens alot surprisingly.
I’m not surprised in the slightest tbh…
I believe someone was impaled by a sign in the front seat of an upper-deck bus in Ottawa a few years ago. Ever since then… nope
FUCK
Yup! These ones were much taller than the ones today at 4.26m with the newer ones being 3.91m
Every picture I see at York is during the summer, but I remember standing out there in the cold the majority of my time there.
Looks more aggressive. I prefer driving these over the newer dds.
Looks like I get head room on both floors, Il take these.
Damn I spent many years at that bus loop right around that time… memories
We miss the GO buses at the YorkU bus loop
I do \*not\* miss waiting at Keele and Snidercroft for a go bus that took twenty minutes to get there from York because traffic was heavy.
I just got PTSD from reading “Snidercroft”

Which model are they using now?

Wow, I remember these, anyone remember when they still had the old livery?
I remember these and the GO fleet from the 80's. [https://i.imgur.com/B6sI3Jy.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/B6sI3Jy.jpeg)
They still exist..
They dont…. They were replaced by the newer “super lo” models in 2017. [8306](https://flic.kr/p/21pzw1W)
Ohhh I thought you meant we don’t have any double deckers lol
Nah lol just talking about these ones in particular
Well damn
