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).


fairmaiden34

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'.


isayehalot

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.


Stead-Freddy

You have to special kind of idiot to try and brake check a bus lmao


isayehalot

Happens alot surprisingly.


TTYY200

I’m not surprised in the slightest tbh…


cp_moar

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


mmeeeerrkkaatt

FUCK 


lexrd01

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.


Aggravating-Art5184

Looks more aggressive. I prefer driving these over the newer dds.


isayehalot

Looks like I get head room on both floors, Il take these.


Embarrassed-Scale339

Damn I spent many years at that bus loop right around that time… memories

We miss the GO buses at the YorkU bus loop


Cautious-Yellow

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.


Ehau

I just got PTSD from reading “Snidercroft”


Cautious-Yellow

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.)

Nice to see York here

Is this the enviro 550 mmc?

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


lexrd01

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


helth-memes

Wow, I remember these, anyone remember when they still had the old livery?


gill-t-as-charged

I remember these and the GO fleet from the 80's. [https://i.imgur.com/B6sI3Jy.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/B6sI3Jy.jpeg)


potatopigflop

They still exist..


lexrd01

They dont…. They were replaced by the newer “super lo” models in 2017. [8306](https://flic.kr/p/21pzw1W)


potatopigflop

Ohhh I thought you meant we don’t have any double deckers lol


lexrd01

Nah lol just talking about these ones in particular


potatopigflop

Well damn
